[WIP] Samus Aran - Anatomically correct (I hope!)

ZimK

Apologies in advance if I'm doing anything wrong-- I'm still pretty unfamiliar with this site!

I've been working on this on and off for a few weeks now. I'm quite proud of it so far. I absolutely ADORE Samus and I've been planning to make this for a very long time. Maintaining the bulk of her suit was a priority, in her official designs her shoulders are slightly bigger than her helmet. So far the only thing that doesn't fit properly is her hair.

you're actually not too far off what the Nintendo Power image of her looks like and how it's structured. doing pretty good!

Thank you! Yeah that image was the reference for her upper arms! [IMG]http://www.polycount.com/forum/Thank you! Yeah that image was the reference for her upper arms! http://i.imgur.com/6GMr75j.png[/IMG]

Woohoo! Another Samus You know, there may be one small thing anatomically off about this though. The head actually could be too big? I don't have the ability to check it out right now, but it may be something to look into, and easy to correct! Oh, and I just noticed something that I love, no one else seems to do this when they make a realistic Samus. You made the upper arm component bulky so it fits with the shoulder piece, even though the upper arms are small! Seriously, so happy to see someone finally did this! And great job so far!

I was partially hoping you'd troll us and just have her powerball form :P

Looks good thus far Not quite sure about her hips, that's about all I can see right now.

I'dd like to see a more emphasis on the boots. Mayby pitch her feet forward to resemble the rocket boots from other-M. The character looks a bit short now with such a top-heavy design.

ZimK

I widened the hips a little and I like the idea of giving her a bit more heel.I need to measure the head still, I think her hair is throwing a lot off.

Update!

I mostly worked on giving her muscle definition and fixing up anatomy. Lengthened her legs and torso a bit and adjusted the armour accordingly.

Retopoing her is proving to be a pain because her armour is so thin I constantly have to adjust it to cover everything while reducing poly count.
