Tank Girl WIP
polycounter lvl 17
Still WIP (especially the machetes), and I don't like the face. I know it's not screaming tank girl at the moment, but I'm working on it.
argh that first pic looks like shit, I'll post a better one later

Agree about the kneecaps, they look more like giant scabs now.
Her upper arm gets very thin just before the elbow too, especially given the size of her shoulder. From the front view it looks ok, but I think I'd expect it to be wider in the side view.
I agree about the arms, it doesn't look like you messed with them too much after posing. Also, the position of the biceps indicates a different axis for the elbow bend.
I would consider making it more narrow and less angular.
all over her clothes and arms and do justice to mad art style of the comic.
(knees already pointed out)
watching this thread now
Looking good!
That said, it looks fucking awesome. Brings back fond memories of the old Q3A TankGirl model with the rocket-bra
any chance you can share your material though?
The elbows look to thin compared to the shoulder. Seems like the shoulder is too big and the elbows are also too small. Nice arm pitts though.

not very faithful to the comics but nice attention to anatomy.
AimBiZ: Thanks, I've smoothed out the knees, ended up redoing the whole area
MoP: Thanks! Yeah the arms were a bit tweaked, should look better now
Funky Bunnies: Thanks man, yeah the elbow was sitting too low which threw everything off.
jocose: I was going for man jaw, but you're right it's a bit disproportional, should be better now
Kevin Johnstone : Yeah I'll defintely do that, along with some stitches, tattoos and crazy green punk hair.
Quokimbo : You're right, I'll fix that on the low poly though.
Steviant: Yeah, she's got a very expresive face, I'll have to do some expressions when I'm done to do it justice.
whats_true: Don't think so
almighty_gir: Thanks! You can buy them here http://gnomonology.com/tutorial/220
TWilson: Glad you like my arm pitts
hawken: The comics have a very distinctive style, compared to which my realistic approach looks very different, so I can see where you're coming from. Hopefully the texture and other details I plan on adding makes it more regognisable.
EarthQuake: Thanks. Yeah that face doesn't fit with the character at all, I've redone most of it. Still not happy with it though.
Still lots of little details and stuff to add, and some assymetry:
I'm moving on to the lowpoly now, but I'll add and change lots of stuff on the way there.
Polypainted sculpt, some things missing here, and the skirt won't be just plain red:
Necklace is a placeholder here.
Still some optimizing to to here:
but i donยดt get it why pl use polypaint ?!
Only thing I would say is that tank girl is a little more quirky looking, you version looks a little older and more tired in the face.
rollin, polypaint is quite cool actually, you can covert the polypaint to a texture and convert the texture back in to polypaint.
tools are a bit limited right now though, basically paint and smooth
from what i can tell, your tankgirl is a bit on the buff side.
i'd say shorter, skinnier, eyes wider apart, and a wider mouth
Looks awesome to me Jaco ! Keep up the good work.
nice work, but i have to admit that i liked the plain sculpt way more, dunno the last version looks a little to manly to me.
I dont think you would need to change much to get the attitude in her face back. Somewhere between TG_Wip3.jpg and TG_TWip2.jpg she lost her smirk though.
rollin: It's a very fast way of quickly getting a good base for your texturing. I convert the polypaint to a texture map when I'm done, which I assign to the high poly mesh. I use AUV tiles to unwrap it, so no time is wasted unwrapping. When I bake my normal map I also bake a color map, which is how I get the polypaint onto my low poly.
oh ok. well the thread title confused me.
It looks so very off, as if you have a poser basic looking model with wierd clothes. the technique is there but it has no character it feels flat.
anyhoo,i just think that the purple around her eyes is JUST abit too much imo.
question, how did you project that cameo on her bra? i remember a tutorial by antropus a long while ago but i forgot what he did
Love it:D
bitmap: Thanks!
EVIL: Poser model, ouch
I think I've managed to unify things a bit now though, and bring back some character. Definitely learnt from this mistake though, concept first then model
butt_sahib: I've toned down that purple. The camo on the bra was painted with polypaint, no projection. I ended up just using some camo I googled on the actual texture though. Thanks!
My apologies to Tank Girl fans, I've turned her into a cutesy manga girl, I really should pay more attention:
Still tweaking the back:
I'm digging it
The face is looking really good
seriously, that face is so catchy / cute ... wtf
Skin tone is prolly one of the best executions I've seen so far.
Seriously awesome work. I like the final facial expression as well, great execution!
