[WIP] Orc Lady

HazelTheHobbit

Just started this new project, really wanted to make a sexy strong orc lady who could crush a man's head with her thighs.
Basing her on Bayard Wu's amazing Ms. Orc sketches https://www.artstation.com/artwork/aOLok 

She's looking kinda stylised at the moment but I want to go for a more realistic look. Really gotta nail that anatomy!

Torch

Cool start, I like how there's already some personality in the face. Looking forward to seeing this develop!

Also following that illustrator, amazing stuff.

HazelTheHobbit

@Torch thankyou!

HazelTheHobbit

Done a little bit of tweaking here and there, haven't been working on it an awful lot- still trying to nail the face and overall proportions!

Agnes_E

Can't really decide what type of shirt she is wearing that make her breasts look like that.. if it was tight there would probably be less pushup and more push together, if you catch my drift?  Other than that, great work I love this design ^^

HazelTheHobbit

@Agnes_E totally get what you mean! I honestly haven't given it much thought at this stage, I want to go for something a bit like this I think:



I want it to be push up but still let the boobs have some weight and squishyness to them haha. I'll be working into it soon and getting a better idea of her overall design so the boobs will get some more attention!

HazelTheHobbit

Some anatomy updates plus a paintover of a slightly older version- starting to consider the design. Feel free to mega crit the anatomy as I'm struggling with it!

OutlawHue

Cool man I like the prices of figuring out here costume. Good work

HazelTheHobbit

@OutlawHue Thankyou!

HazelTheHobbit

A little bit of progress, starting to block in the clothes again, really need to work out exactly what I want things to be because my sketchy paintover is still a bit vague! 

NinjaSocks

looks like a great start man, are you gonna make use of marvelous? i'm asking because i'm curious to know if you prefer to start off in zbrush or just build stuff from scratch in marvelous. Would love to see progression on this project.

HazelTheHobbit

@NinjaSocks Thankyou! I'm not sure whether I'll need marvelous except for the loincloth thing- there's not really much drapery so I think it'd be more hassle than its worth!  

HazelTheHobbit

Some more updates! A slightly more refined block in and more thought out paintover. Really starting to get a feel for her now can't wait to get into sculpting everything!!

NinjaSocks

awesome

RachidJ

this is great, looking forward to seeing it develop! 

HazelTheHobbit

@NinjaSocks Thanks!

@RachidJ Thankyou!  

HazelTheHobbit

Some small progress updates, so back and forth with the design its as if there's no progress Definitely a reminder of why I don't concept my own stuff haha

RachidJ

@HazelTheHobbit you'll get it there, progress is progress no matter how small!  . I don't know too much about female anatomy to give any feedback that might actually be helpful to you lol, but this video might help if you have any troubles with the garments https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WabkLpQNIyY .It's a Zbrush summit presentation from Guerrilla Games about Horizon Zero Dawn, where they go over their approach towards the clothing and much more. hope this helps  .

@RachidJ
Thanks for the video I was just looking for optimised workflow between marvelous and zbrush! definitely  gonna try this on my next project! @HazelTheHobbit
its looking good! I know what you mean about concepting taking ages haha hang in there

HazelTheHobbit

@RachidJ thankyou for the video! It was so insightful and helpful! 

HazelTheHobbit

Back on her after having a much needed break, got some new ideas so hopefully its full steam ahead from here!! 

dGreenberg

Baynard Wu makes some bad-ass orc ladies, so I don't think you can go wrong with that inspiration. Glad you're back on it, @HazelTheHobbit. Head and musculature are looking great, so it'll be cool to see how the character develops. Good luck moving forward

HazelTheHobbit

Thankyou @dGreenberg ! I can't wait to properly get into this!

HazelTheHobbit

Think I'm finally happy with her design and ready to start properly making stuff rather than dynameshing blobs together! I've actually gone for little bits of dinosaur scales etc so I'm planning to keep that running throughout the design

HazelTheHobbit

Some more updates, haven't had that much time to work on her recently, can't wait to have a full weekend to get into those details!

RocketBryan

Ooooo, I'm glad I ran across this project - she's looking pretty darn badass! I'll be interested to see how you handle all that fur as everyone seems to have a slightly different approach.

It would be lovely to see some additional detail in her face and perhaps hardening up her features somewhat. She still looks great at the moment, but getting some additional distortion around her tusks, some deeper brow lines, and perhaps even bumping up the tusk size a bit might help sell her "orc-ness" more effectively.

Looking forward to more!

HazelTheHobbit

@RocketBryan Thankyou! Yeah I've been thinking about the fur, think I'm just gonna have to wing it and see what works! 

Totally agree with you about the face! That's what I'll be focusing on next!  

ja000ha

Good progress so far! There are some anatomical points that still look too stylized IMO, the clavicle/jugular notch area in particular. Also the abs; the concepts you've posted that you're sculpting from all still have a softness to them that your sculpt seems to be missing. She can still be muscular without needing exaggerated definition.

HazelTheHobbit

Totally with you on the neck! I'll take a look with that  
These are the kinda abs I'm going for:


They still need a lot of work though

HazelTheHobbit

Little bit of an update! Some work on the face and other bits here and there, not really noticeable progress though!

MrSocks

She's looking great Hazel,

My only critique would be to consider (subtly) bulking up her shoulders/arms if you're considering having her more of a warrior-type.  She feels more like a runner to me right now.

Keep up the good work, I'm excited to see where you take her!

HazelTheHobbit

@MrSocks Thankyou! Definitely see what you mean, I'll take another look at that when I get back to her!
