Naruto Shippuuden - Haruno Sakura

Bushidou

Hi again everyone,


Decided to take a short pause from Song Hye-kyo untill my new dvd box to arrive to finish the final touches, also to come with some new forces.

And started this chick up for my Naruto unreal tournament 3 project :











and now started the new head up by playing a bit with a picture positioning the eyes, nose etc and the shapes at a close rate of Sakura by kipping the anatomy intact.:


naruto ninja style or lovely Sakura?

more pictures in the progress can be viewed here


any crits are all welcomed

Very cute, I like the folds, not too fond of the boot style you chose though, it seems a little too busy to me. Her hips seem a bit narrow as well, maybe fitting for the Asian-like theme, but imo they should be filled out a bit more.


My vote is for the Ninja Style, the headband makes her look sexier and more mysterious


>^..^<

Kawe

Oh wow. A hires Sakura is gonna be pretty cool That other model was looking really promising too.

System

Nice, especially like the leather jacket design. Agreed on the boots, creases are too many and a bit too strong at the front, looks like a similar situation with the elbow wraps too but in 360 degrees.

Zipfinator

I like it! The only criticisms I have is that the face looks a bit off compared to the Anime and like the others said the boots and arm bands could be toned down a bit.

Pedro Amorim

i really love the folds you have going on. nice stuff

bluekangaroo

I agree...nice work on the modeling

Bushidou

thanks guys,

the boots I choosed to go with are from soft leathery material so they need to look a bit busy, I will make sure before baking to fix the arms bands and soften up a bit more the boots.

Bushidou

another small update, done the normalmap and occ, now time for the final stage









also I played a bit some more with the head and decided to make it more in final fantasy style by keeping a bit of photorealism but also the anime look more to it, better like this?
guess the texture will pop up the details more

renderhjs

I like the face alot,- nice work

SuPa-

Yeah, the new face looks really good

Bushidou

happy to hear it, only changed a bit her nose



started a bit working on the texture



stay 2nd

Havok

Looks really nice at the moment, Bushidou. You may want to lower the saturation of the red on her vest a tiny bit. Also, after looking at a couple of pictures of her, I saw that her hair towards the front of her face should be a bit longer, about the level of her chin. And finally, this is just my opinion, but you may want to increase the angle of her nose a bit, to show her nostrils more. Good job so far though, I used to watch a bit of Naruto myself.

Bushidou

thanks, slitted down the saturation a bit, I think I will do it a bit more later when head will be done



now time for the most important part, the face and hair

renderhjs

her stomach looks flat (like a flat plane)
but nice progression - I still like her face ^^

WipEout

I know it's the style of the anime/manga, but what the hell was ever the point of the open-toed shoes? Although, even if there was a good reason, I doubt I'd buy it aesthetically...

Anyway, awesome work on Sakura, Bushidou! Keep at it!

Itaichi

Well, thye're more like very sturdy sandals there in the Naruto series....so, from what I can guess, they're really flexible footwear, with insulation provided from the open toed foootwear.

Plus, it's just simply following the whole japanese/ninja esque style...C'mon, look at most ninjas, you'll see open toed shoes.

No you won´t.
Most Ninjaboots have a simple split toed design...I think Naruto was the first time I´ve seen that open toed style of shoes.
Never really liked that design decision.

back 2topic:

Looking good but something about the proportions bugs me.

I think right now her breasts look like they´re too low.
It seems like there´s too much space from where the neck starts and the breasts end.

The arms and shoulders look a bit manly and she looks a bit top-heavy.
I made a little shoop to demonstrate what I mean:



Great work.
Loving the head and all the wrinkles in the clothes!

Bushidou

thanks

here is a bit the texture progress to know where I'm going for
atm everything is fully symmetry



and with specular done in a rush, still a lot to do

Nilium

Her eyes look like they're really far apart, you might want to go back and tweak that before you get very far in on this. Right now she looks like she has Down's syndrome. Hair looks pretty much like hair (despite the coloring, damn animes with their irradiated children born with rainbow hair), which I'd say is nice considering most people go for shiny streaks and that's it.

arrangemonk

thats because you cant see the color shading in asians people hair, they can!

Kawe

I thought it'd be awesome if you could somehow clump together her hair at the ends.. kinda like how they look like in the anime. not sure how it'd look though, heh. also the texture makes her cheeks look flat (very bright).. intended for anime looks?

Bushidou

worked a bit more on the texture also removed the symmetry from texture and mesh, hope you like it









the headband will be next

Jeansson

ohh.. that looks so nice

Havok

Wow, I really like where this is going. Nice work.

Bushidou

thanks guys

fixed and updated a few stuff

1. body proportions and shape,
2. done the headband and updated the colors of the textures and specular variations












I think I'm done and ready to continue the project that was on hold

Kawe

neat. are you finishing up that Korean actress? it seemed really promising

almighty_gir

i feel like the arms are too long... also the deltoids need more definition. the arms look almost like cones in the way they start really thick, end really thin, and have no real shape on the way down.

if she's meant to be a ninja, she would be incredibly "cut".
