This is closer to the look you are going for--hopefully it'll help:

Good luck!
The geometry of her upper arms - especially near the armpits and the shoulders. Part of the problem might be the pose; the pose for both the minidress and the shorts feels forced and artificial. I'd recommend a new, more natural pose for each.
Her elbows in the romper outfit are too close together; they should be no closer to the body than her shoulders.
Her breasts seem to hang a bit low, at least for her apparent age & size. I'd also expect a more natural slope between her chest & the breasts.
Her upper lip is strangely segmented; there are three distinct sections. (Yes, I know one of your references has that same look, but it's a very unusual shape; it appears that her lip is 'caught' on the surface of those two front teeth.)
clusterone : thank you very much. really appreciate your input .. that is an awesome reference BTW
yeah it did confuse me having a lot of references .. its because this started as a fun practice ... and then i wanted to take it further and try to finish it .
i try learning anatomy .. but its really is a lot to memorize .. i think what would help me is doing as everyone else ( starting a character from scratch . bone by bone and muscle by muscle )
dwalker : thank you for the input .. apologies for my lazy posing .. i just didnt bother posing her arms properly ..
i did raise the breasts a little .
also closed the mouth a little . looking better now ?
progress :
would love some feedback on him .
note : again with my nasty habit of starting with no concept . and i shape it as i go .. so apologies as i dont have a a concept to show
if needed i will put together a picture containing some of the ( loads of refs )
i prefer not to so i can know what are your first impressions on this picture . or what can u read from it .
also here is a paint over of my planning on what to add :
stick ( staff ) - a cobra snake - some accesories - maybe redo the hair as it is not well optimized ( currently 100k for hair only :poly136: )
