creating a likeness (improving my character skill)

dabu

Alo polycounters,

tis been a while! I recently finished up on Tony Hawk Project 8 (PS2), and am taking a break. Thought I would give characters another go, this time with a focus on next gen polycounts and learning normal maps (hopefully)

Final target tri count is 5 - 7 k.

Hows my topology? Is it starting to look like her? Ignore the neck for now, just started it.

Any and all feedback greatly appreciated.

Reminds oblivion default character model to me.
Too many triangles, man, try to drop that out.

Check the corners of the mouth. It's hard to see, but it looks like you are terminating most of the lip geometry there. This doesn't happen, the lips turn in on themselves.

You've got quite a lot of poles, terminating loops into tris. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH TRIANGLES, just be careful where they are.

Thanks for the feedback, I think I know what you mean. Im still playing with that area, need to add the inner mouth, ears, etc...

Pls feel free to paint over..
