Hello
I'm usually an animator , but for a change I decided I was going to create a character of my own (to later animate it ;P )

So I'm looking for some advice to push the character further. Also I'm going to need some advice to rig the skirt and apron in a practical way for Unreal engine 4 if you guys have any good idea ^^

She looks like my stepmother.
Original work, gg

The character looks very cool, and the design is very interesting, but you might want to look again at the creases on the skirt, they seem to be a bit weird. They should probably move more vertically than clumping horizontally like yours do. In the image below if you look you'll also notice that the creases are smaller.

hey you're right !

I want my dress to be more rigid than in your reference but the folds are all over the part. her is the fix :

Definetely better! Keep it up! She would definetely need a nice pose now!

volaille · Nov 2016

I'll do a rifle to go along with her and I'll tackle the pose, and maybe a short animation as well ^^ thanks for the feedbacks

Tomiajayi · Nov 2016

also I think you overdid the polys on her boots. they look pretty dense. could probably have gotten away with 1/4 of those polys and put that detail elsewhere!

happy optimizing

volaille · Nov 2016

hummm I guess you are right. thats an easy fix. thanks for pointing that out

volaille · Nov 2016

her rifle. I guess I'm going to tweak the textures a little more though

volaille · Nov 2016

Updated the textures for the rifle. it looks way better now I think ^^

ok now I can call the rifle done I guess
or maybe you guys feel like some things can be improved on ?

I like the style; reminds me a little bit of Backwater Gospel.

volaille · Nov 2016

I've just checked the short you were referring to and it looks awesome ^^. I really like the comic book feel of it and the extreme deformations on everybody's ....bodys . my character's deformations looks kind of tame in comparison but I see what you mean. thanks

Really like the proportions of the character. We don't see enough of that kind of stylization.

One thing that bothers me on the rifle is that the butt has symetrical curves. I think you could get a stronger silhouette by introducing a straight line somewhere (probably the upper line).

o0_themilkybarkid_0o · Nov 2016

Looks great, the face is classic! That grimace is really adding to the character. I'd consider adding in a hairy mole or two, just for effect

volaille · Nov 2016

hey hairy mole, that could work !

volaille · Nov 2016

Update : I remade the textures from scratch. Doing this once gave me some much needed experience in substance painter. so even it il may feel the same, I'm a lot more satisfied with the second version of the texture.

bonus : a sketchfab

RustySpannerz · Nov 2016

Fabric textures especially look a lot better!

volaille · Nov 2016

yes I agree, now for instance the scale is consistent for all pices of clothing. I kept the normals in check, and i think i went overboard with the dirt in the first version. now I feel comfortable moving forward with this character ^^
