I really liked the range of frequency on this character.
Love to hear your thoughts on my progress thus far.

Looks great thus far.
ANyhoo, it has been a month since the last update so I figured I had better show some progress eh? Still somehow finding the time between sleeping in and not doing house chores. :poly136:
The only think I can say is that the boobs look a bit "anti-gravity". I would like to compare the shape from the side like on the concept, they look a bit "heavier" there.
Thanks Tex I will definitely revisit the bewbs.
Awesome.
One thing I would suggest trying is a quick and dirty pose like in the concept to check it against your proportions (if you don't mind taking the time to do it). The pose in the concept is very dynamic, and I think if you did this it would make any proportional flaws very obvious in your sculpt. Currently I suspect the hips and torso are a tad wide. Besides that, a few shapes just looking a bit boxy to me. idk, really hard to nail it when the poses are so different.
But, I have worked before where I didn't worry about small points in proportions knowing that I'll just do quick and dirty adjustments to the low poly when I pose the character. But this probably isn't an ideal way to work and I'm not even sure if you intend to make a low poly with this.
BTW are you using zbrush or mudbox? In zbrush there is a tool you can use where you don't have to merge and decimate the highpoly in order to pose (T pose master). Its hacky but it works. If you do pose her I would be really interested to see what changes you make!
I didn't actually do any posing but I did do a little modeling. I've been busy with moving and work and freelance and I've made only a little progress since the last post. Rather than show any increments I'll save my next big update until the weapons are done.
What I did do though was a bit of proof of concept for the texturing style on one of the many skulls that will go on the ground. here it is.
everytime I paint in zbrush the contrast comes out a little on the low side so I need to work on that. of course I should probably just migrate to 3D coat right?
Quick hair polypaint shot.
You have some pretty cool stuff going on here. Any updates on the rest of her textures?
Another progress shot of the texture...
This is an updated version of the image in the WAYWO thread, just wanted to improve the framing a bit.
