UPDATE
Hello everybody Im making a Character based on Keith Parkinson Cyberpunk painting. I'm going to be tweaking certain accesories but essentially it will be based on his epic painting.
So far here is what ive got. I'm trying to give her a female fitness body type, and Everything is pretty rough right now, Still need to do the ears so ignore them for now, and the jacket im still just blocking out, the eyebrows this time around im going to do with hair cards cause i saw some shots of the characters in Order 1886 that did that. But I'd love to hear what you guys think so crit away
Oh and placeholder hair.
Also I started her on September 18th im hoping to have her done in under a month I want to work on my speed of making characters.

btw whats going on on the abs?
Like previous posters said, she seems to have some manly features. Broad shoulders, muscular arms, and maybe wider hips?
I also think a lot of her appeal is the chunky forms with her jacket and those boots. Look at how thick those boots are on her legs in the concept. Your current ones look very long and slender. Takes away from that chunky, 80s cyberpunk feel imo.
Phaeton1911 - Thanks man
Disanski - Thanks man
erroldynamic - Thanks, ya im going to go in and change that was going in the direction of like a ftiness model but ive decided to follow the concept more. Definately a fun one.
gsokol - Hell yeah it is Keith Parkinson rocks. Ya i accidentally went to muscular, so hopefully in the update below I fixed it. Ya im definately going to have to go in and fix the boots up I agree about the chuky feel.
Slosh - Ya the abs im gonna fix up. Thanks.
Okay so ive gone in and fixed the body up and made her less muscular and removed the manly features she had, I also have a quick update on the gloves, im changing the accesories a little bit cause I had some cool ideas wit that, so im gonna put the gloves in the concept underneath the brace i created.. Also the abs arent fully sculpted yet still trying to get the overall shape and proportions down first.
I also think palms seem a bit small ?
Looking forward to see her detailed . Good stuff !
General question for everyone, wats a good measurement for the width of the body?
Looking fantastic though, looking forward to seeing more progress.
Hey everybody ive gotten really far with the sculpt everything looking good just wanted to post a wip of the face, I went in and cleaned her face up some more really happy with proportions and shape of this face im going to go in and sculpt the finer details of her face next just wondering wat you guys thought bout her face.
Thnaks guys
You're overloading the place with too much awesome if you keep this up after your Catwoman
Progress looks really good so far.
Xaragoth - Lol Thanks alot man
slosh - Thanks, Ya the abs im gonn a fix havent touched them to much in the last post and in this update still havent fully fixed them so definately gonna do that soon.
Hello everyone sorry for the late update, Been busy I finnally got a Freelance job!!
PS Im hoping to get this done soon So I can partake in the LOL contest!!!
First shot is in basic material second shot is skinshade4.
So this what ive got for the sculpt of the jacket so far, check the concept art at the top post to see if it resembles it. Im almost done the sculpt will definately have it done by end of today and will p[robably start retopoing today as well, Pls check my update at the top and drop crits Thanks
Ok so I got the sculpt done just tweaking somethings, I went ahead to start the retopo and I have a quick question in regards to the eyebrow area, Ive seen several heads that do the eyebrows in different ways,
heres my WIP of the retopo head for her look at how I did the center of the eybrows in the middle of the brow of the face ( hope im describing it right)
And here is a wireframe of a face from uncharted wat type of eyebrow ridge typology is better.
And also take a look at the sculpt progress in the last post and gimme some crits on the sculpt Thanks
Do you work with 2 monitors? Did you buy lots of anatomy books?
and as for the character it looks pretty good so far. Only critique is how close the ears are to the head. I would space it out a bit. I subbed. Can't wait for the finale
Manilamerc - Thanks man, Ya I have two monitors usually i put my reference photos on the other one, and ya i've bought lots of anatomy books, traditional sculpting books, and just searched the internet for all sorts of references and tutorials.
The detail on the lips are a bit too clean and too many wrinkles close together. Everybody's lips are different, but some general guidelines I find helpful are to sculpt the wrinkles going both ways(from center to border and vice versa). Add smaller wrinkles around the border of the lips and add the horizontal wrinkles to bring it together.
Here is a super large ref:
A couple of nitpicks:
* The ball of the nose is lacking some of it's form. That form is like two commas side by side with the tail end tucking into the nostril. Towards the tail end it kind of flattens out.
* On the bridge of the nose there is a subtle bump on both sides.
* The inner eyelid corner is pretty thin, just inflate it a bit and it's good to go.
I don't know what refs you're using, so check my crits against the refs you are using and see what applies for you.
All in all it's looking great :thumbup:
Also heres the reference I was using for the lips.
So here is what i got, I'm calling the sculpt done All I have to sculpt wise is the medallion on the boot but Im stuck on that right now so im gonna fix it later, I also have the retopo pretty much done so hopefully I can start texturing and baking some stuff over the next few days.
keep it up!!
Question for everyone Any tips for makeup such as lipstick and eyeliner I do want to give her a bit of makeup.
Maybe the edges of the lipstick are too crisp? Most lipsticks I've noticed have this very small subtle falloff on the edges unless if you're going for that really glossy lipstick look.
Thank you for the kind words as well
Also this is the first time I've done skin pores so what you guys think?
edit*
Wait a sec, I looked at your portfolio and LinkedIn. You are not hired yet?
I like her face, good job so far. Keep it up dude :thumbup:
Ok here is a quick update been playing around with Quixel suite and learning more about it, its almost done heres the torso area so far.
I thought it would be cool to give her a SORAYAMA Gynoid as a patch for her jacket will be playing around with that some more.
Also i was working on the hair a bit, Im not too certain about this im most likely gonna redo it but might as well post it, I kind of want to redo some of the alphas but we'll see.
However, before you do away with the mohawk, perhaps blend it in with some stubble around the scalp? Even some short hair would work. The also shows it bending down forwards, so it's a little less waxed.
Ya I was thinking about the stubble around the scalp or having short hair on the side, it will probably help make the mohawk look less wierd. Definately sumthing im gonna have to play with
Erroldynamic - Thanks man, ya I definately messed up on the gloss but I think i fixed it below, as for the puffer jacket im trying to go for a shiny leather puffer jacket as below.
Ok so here is my updated gloss and specular map
The jacket I think is closer to where it should be, but it still feels a little too glossy IMO. Looking at both the original painting and your ref photo there are intense highlights, but less of the super sharp ones on your model.
As for the tights, I'm a little unsure of your choice of photo reference. "Wet-look" leggings are cool and all, but I don't think they're a perfect match for your subject, especially not if you want to accurately replicate that kind of 80's/early 90's feel. To me, the material you're going for right now feels too 2010's contemporary. Aside from that, I think the model might benefit from materials standing out more from one another. I think something like this is closer to what you should be aiming for.
All in all though, stellar work! Love the subject matter and I'm dying to see how she'll look when finished.
jhoyhottle - Thanks man, I'm basing this character off the concept posted on the first page so I dont want to change too much and I like the 80's cyberpunk feel those pants have, I fixed the skin texture below I understand what your pointing out about the flu look to the skin,
ysalex - Thanks alot man, Ya the pants give it a cool 80's feel IMO.
Ok so I fixed up the skin textures and I think i pushed it in the right direction, the below screenshot was using the garage preset in marmoset. I know the difference is subtle but I really noticed it helped. Should I push it more?
And the finished boots and glove.
