ArenaNet test: the chick

duncan

Sure....why not?..... me too.

I am not really going for the in game visuals. Probably somewhere between the ref and the game. Still going to try and stick to the specs though.

Not good with the chicks, and I am sure I will make a mess... but whatever. I need to make a mess before I get any better.

Latest Update:

This is gonna take longer than I thought :poly121: Couldn't get the wolf head right. Ended with this. Next the other wolf heads, and some of the other junk...... I worry that I have bitten off more than I can chew.... oh well just keep swimming

duncan

trying to find a starting point.

That body is great, but that head is massive.

BenHenry

That head is freaking huge! Love it though.

daphz

nice! I'm okay with the head being that large but I think you should make the neck not as thick

Poribo

There's something off-putting with the neck, but the body is full of style though.

BARDLER

Face reminds me of Xerxes from 300 lol. I like the stylized look but I think it would look better with beefier shoulders or slimmer neck/head.

duncan

Cool. BIG Thanks everyone.

tweaked the head size. neck thickness, and ear height... better?



thanks again everyone.

Krizalide

The reason why the head looks huge for some is because the ribcage + shouders are not wide enough compared to the rest.
I bet just changing the shoulders+upper torso a bit would balance the whole thing.

Graze

Looks great man, going to have a really nice style to it

shotgun

Love her expression
Needs slightly longer arms and some wider shoulders wouldn't hurt

MeintevdS

Yar I think making the shoulder slightly wider will help a ton.

I also think the eyes might be a bit to far apart? I realize that the concept uses eyes that are pretty far apart, but at the moment the eyes are 3 eyes apart, which I think might be a bit to much.

But interesting what you'll come up with!

duncan

Thanks everyone.

@ MeintevdS: Thanks for the help :thumbup:. I didn't even really look at the eyes... wow they were really small and far apart. Good call. side note... did you ever start a kid zombie or hero?

As most of you pointed out I pulled out the shoulders and dropped them down a little, I think it is looking more natural but does the head look too big again? and the neck too thick? I will play.



Thanks again everyone.

afisher

Hey mate, just dropped in to check your progress, but I'm getting the '403 Forbidden', looks like ImageShack took your image down (booo!), unless it's just me.

duncan

hahah I have no idea what happened. should be back there now. I hope.

guhhh

the face looks awesome...i'm following this thread!

afisher

that's better Looking really cool man. Her face is looks great. I love the way you've done the lips, they look fuller than the concept though. The eyes could be slightly larger, her jaw line slightly narrower and her ears are sticky out a bit much - that's just my 2 cents. Can't wait to watch your progress :poly124:

duncan

Thanks :poly121:

@ afisher: Thanks dude. I hear you man. When I get back to the face I will definitely make those changes, along with a few others. Good spot :thumbup:

FullSynch

I really like the wolf head! It goes well with the belly door knocker thingamajig hanging out it's mouth.

Lord McMutton

Is that a knocker-knocker?

woogity

Duncan man that wolf is looking totally ace! Really nice work dude!

ScudzAlmighty

Looking nice man, though I'm a little worried that you're making a Duncan character rather than a Guild Wars character.

Alex Pointer

The upper torso is just not long enough-if that is the style they are going for, it's awesome. I do agree that the shoulders are not wide enough yet. Face looks pretty good too

Frump

Hey man, not a bad start so far.

I agree with the other guys who've said the head is too large and that there's something strange about the shoulders right now. I also agree a lot with what Scudz said that this one is seeming pretty similar to your previous characters.

Before you move on to the costume I think you can still pull a lot more out of the anatomy in terms of silhouette and proportion. I think the boobs are too high on the chest and too close to the clavicle. It also looks like she is shrugging her shoulders back (hard to tell without a side view). You could also exaggerate some of the angles and curves in the legs and arms to get a more interesting silhouette. I've done a rough liquify paintover for you to check out. Besides the silhouette stuff I also adjusted the size of the head and length of the legs to fit the typical 8-heads.

Tits

Sexy!
