Mechanic Girl

I am going to try and produce this Character in lowish poly utilizing current tech. I want to have a posed render of her taken from Marmoset at the end.
I've used Normal maps before, but I've never baked them from a high to low poly in regard to Characters before. So I hope to use xNormal and learn a lot from this. Here is the concept :




I started with the head model, this is where I am currently. The style is influenced by Sintel, from the short 'Sintel'.

I like thw concept and the style too. The head is well started too, just one thing that i noticed is the ear, i feel like if it was inflated in some places, maybe that there some spots that needs to be more pinched. I never did ears so im not a pro hehe but thats what i feel when i look at it.
Good stuff so far!

she looks a tad cross-eyed but other then that i'm liking the head so far.

dogzer

looks absolutely promising!

Started blocking in the body today, wish I had got more done over the weekend but I was sick The head's not working in conjunction with the body right now though, need to figure that out. Any ideas?

StrongRum

I think the head looks a tad to big for the body.

Hey guys, just a quick, minor update on the body. Looking for some proportional feedback if at all possible. In my concept she's very stylized, I'm trying to work out how to translate that into the model. Though I feel that might come from the accessories & texturing more than anything else.
Anyway, any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

hips look too wide for such a young girl

This is looking cool. I really like the overall proportions of the face. She reminds me of the females in The Incredibles.

The geo on the face could be more evenly spaced. There are some long rectangles and some faces are much bigger than other ones.

Her hands look a little too big and her neck is short. And I agree with n88tr that the width of her hips doesn't really seem to match the rest of the design.

Keep working on this! It has lots of potential.

Good start, please keep at it.
I agree with n88tr about the hips, bring them in alittle bit.

I made a silhouette test by blocking out the major shapes.

Modeled the baseball cap

gj, I like the silhouette so far
maybe make the cap a bit thicker and relax the edges a bit more
Also curving the flap a bit would give it some extra dimension

sheckee

Thanks Raven, appreciate it
What edges do you think I should relax exactly?

leslievdb

np, i was thinking of the ones going to the top but now that i see it again it might be that they're fine like that
maybe you could also curve the sides a bit, they seem to be going in a straight line towards the back when i look at the picture where she's wearing it.

Thanks again Raven, I've made some changes and rotated the hat to point forwards instead. Thoughts?


Fred2303 mentioned earlier about the ears needing work; he is right, i've still not gotten around to that yet though. In time.

TylerFluharty

Personally I like the hat forward, but I'd have to see it with the goggles on.
