[Mixamo Contest] - Popol - Circus knife thrower

Popol

Hi ! I know I'm a little bit late to enter the contest but I've been super busy finishing my end of year project. Now that it's finally over, I'm free to do fun stuffs again! =D

So here's my idea : a circus knife thrower from the Victorian era. She's used to travel with the circus but now she's going solo to live great adventures!

Here's my concept



I will maybe cover her body with tattoos to make her some sort of circus freak, "The tattooed Lady" but I'll see about that while texturing as it may turn out too busy.

Alara

Hello and good luck!)

Popol

Alara : thanks!

So I sculpted the body and face. I played a little with the proportions to get something that looks interesting. Not really satisfied with the face as it seems a little too childish, I'll have to get back at it later.





Any suggestions are more than welcomed!

Hey, looking good! I think you need to make the shoulders a bit wider though, they're way too narrow compared to the rest of her. Also the neck is looking very straight as if it was just extruded upwards, try giving it a bit of a curve and it also seems a little long...but that could just be the narrow shoulders giving me that impression.

Rest of her is looking pretty good digging that concept!

Popol

Niclol : Thanks for the tips! Made the changes as you suggested and it looks way better now.

I can't spend more than 3 or 4 hours a day on this character because of my student job so it's taking quite some time but here's what I've made so far.

wow, totaly missed this one. looks really good

Popol

lotet : Thanks! It means a lot coming from you as I love how your adventurer is turning out

So here is what it looks like so far. Not that much of an update but I'm slowly getting there ^^

Have made some changes compared to the concept : slim pants look better in my opinion and a more complex holster for the knives. I'm currently thinking of some items to add on the legs to make them a little more busy as they seem quite bland compared to the top.

Hope you like it!

Popol

Hi guys!

Well it looks like I ran out of time. This is what the character looks like right now. I'm currently working on the retopo.



I plan to finish this character but I want to really polish it and make it portfolio material. I'll post my progress in a new thread in "Pimping & Previews".
