Breath of Fire 6 Character Process

Svyat · Aug 2017

I've been trying to get my sculpt to look like this concept. This is the progress so far. I want to paint it as well in the near future, oh and I'll try to update this as often as possible.
Concept (Doing the one on the right)

I finished the armor a long time ago. Right now trying to work on his head and hands. The hardest thing for me right now is getting his anime head right. Critique always welcome!

I like it so far! I've always liked these concepts so its nice to seeing them coming to life.

Some feedback.
I would thicken up a lot of the clothing as its loosing some of its style being so thin and maybe consider making the hands with four fingers rather than 3. The style doesn't seem to fit the three fingered look (it looks a bit uncomfortable/alien to me) and it feels like it brings down a lot of the work you have put into the hand sculpt so far.

Good luck!

Hey, thanks for feed back I'll get on it. In a mean time, does anyone have tips on how to make that anime hair?

Looks good! I agree with shayleen_hulbert. The form is female so the model lacks hip width and in general seems underweight. The face looks a little old for your character and it seems to miss the cutesy quality of the reference. Well done on the new hands. Look forward to seeing the progress.

Hey @kanga, I was actually going for a male, young boy type of character, you can find him on the right in the concept art above. The thing with these stylized chibi characters is that the head shape of the male and female is the exact same and the only differences are found in the eyes, eyebrows. Anyways I think I just need to add hair to my character and he will look more male.
This is where I am at right now.
