Giorno Giovanna - Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Fanart

Hey Polycount! 

Posting some WIPs here of a new model I've been plugging away at. I recently got laid off so I'm trying to use this project to brush up on techniques I've put off and learn new tools I haven't gotten the chance to learn yet! 

The model is of Giorno Giovanna from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo. The anime for Diamond is Unbreakable just ended and I wanted to do something related to that, but I wanted to get on the hype train early for Vento Aureo.  This anime and manga is awesome and made a positive impact on me last year so I wanted to do something in tribute to it.  Here's what I've got so far:





Here's some of my ref:


Let me know what you think!! Thank you for giving this a look!

Hey dude, off to a good start, looking at your ref board I would recommend that you pull a lot more reference from the action figure/statues, alot of the complexities of translating 2d to 3d look like they have been solved there.
Here some things to double check.
Lip shape and size, he appears to have very full lips especially the bottom lip.
From the side view his forehead looks like it has a strong slope to it.
Ears are too low
Nose is too small
I think your brow might be too soft
Upper arm is too short and the slow of the lower arm needs some love I think.
Here are some paintovers that hopefully make some of this  a bit more clear, sorry for how slopey they are.
Keep pushing!
