ArenaNet Art Test - Female Norn
polycounter lvl 9
Hey all! I know I'm crazy late to this but I wanted to give Hyojin's awesome concept a whirl, even if I don't finish in time for ArenaNet's deadline, I'd still like to finish it. And I'm jobless this time around, so I can't use that as an excuse to put it off! :poly136:
This is what I have for the anatomy thus far- many thanks for looking and any critiques.

The size of her face was bothering me a little, so I took in her cheeks and changed the shape of her head to give it better structure, and thinned her nose. I've been staring at this for days on end though, so let me know what you think!
All right, ya'll. I definitely missed the deadline but I'm gonna keep it going since there are quite a few things on this character I haven't done before, like the hair/fur and such. I'm having too much fun trying to get the armor right, anyway, so I don't want to rush it and flub those things up. If nothing else, this will be a pretty great learning experience, and hopefully a decent portfolio piece.
Still to do: Hair, hair braids, fur, weapon, gloves, front skirt.
Here's my current progress, almost done with the hi-poly:
Here's the current WIP; I sculpted in folds for the cloth and leather, and modeled a placeholder for the hair until I'm ready to texture. I think it needs more volume on the right side, but I'm figuring it out as I go. I also took a short break from her to model the weapon.
Next up is the fur and other face detail like the lips, then I want to start texturing by midweek.
Any crits would be much appreciated.
