Mage/Priest -Help Reuested

Therazin

Hay Guys, so I need you help once again.
for school, I am to create a humanoid Character.
I only have a rough Idea of what i want to do so I'll be off doing some concepting once i get this post up and running.
I have two ways I could go, but yet have to decide wich one.

However, before I put more effort into these I would like tro get some feedback of you guys on the anatomy.

This is a long post, but id be really gratefull if youd stick with me and give me some feedback, maybe also some hints or inspirational advice.


The first one is a Midna inspired Anatomy ( Sculpt and Reference Below)




and the Goal would be something along the lines of Syndra from LoL whilest cathing the impish nature of Midna

The second one is inspired by Rasmus Morgenson( http://nifmagazine.com/rasmus-mogensen-perfectly-natural/ ) (and ofc my main Ref posted Below)
(I know the feet are terrible- but i decided to let them bee until i know what kind of footing ill be having- - maybe im gonna switch out the hands and feet for something more alien- as in my references)





Here the Goal would be something more around the Lines of the Kaminoans of Starwars- This very calm and graceful presence

Okay, so I heres some Progress on this chick- i decided to go for the 1st version- however my picture and concept of her actually strayed quite a bit from my initial idea of a mage


I played alot with clothing, but nothing quite seemed to fit, so i decided to actually dehumanize her a little by adding those ornaments on her skin so i can hopefully get away by leaving her naked ?
the scarf is the only thing I wanted to give her clothwise.
aside that shes supposed to get a huge pouch on her side- pretty much like this one :

but bigger compared to her wize and with more ornaments,
aswell as a gigantic Paint-Brush - much like the classic chinese ones I thought?

Yay, Finally got arround to work some more on this one =D


Heres a shot of the (almost) final BodySculpt
-cuz I feel, I rly should to do more with the front-view of the arms




I also almost completed the pouch
the beltstrap still needs some detailing though



and an early workshot of the Brush she'll be carrying

I really love that bag it's really sticking out!
Do you have a backstory for the Character?

Have you set up your mind on what color palettes to use?

Can't wait for furthermore progression And the End results!!!

Therazin

Thank you Wirrex.
Colortheme is something I'm somewhat still unsure about.
I thought the ornaments to be bronze, and the bag to be of leather.
so warm tones might be a major thing to balance out here.
I think I will try to bring some Contrast between the Body and the accessories like Bag, Scarf and Ornaments.

I always try to imagine some rough kind of background-story for my characters.
knowing what their profession is, and what kind of person he/she/it is helps me to decide on what kind of clothes, accessories, hairstyles, etc to give.

In this case my vision changed quite heavily while thinking of a background-story.
I started this project during class, and had Midna from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, so I wanted her to be of impish nature,
not evil- but loving to play pranks- she would often get in trouble.
to balance her prankish, stubborn and childish nature I decided to give her a sidekick- the pouch
I thought of it to be somewhat of her better half, restraining her from doing to much stupid things.
And the brush would probably be a resemblance to jigglypuff xD

Hey, i love the fashion photography and i love the Kaminoans, too. I will see your final Kaminoans Model. The Hands on his leg I don´t need, but the hip anatomy is not so fin.

The ears of your Midna is really creepy but the other the rest of the anatomy is really nice. Now you must finished your work (Sculpt and Texture).
