Hej Folks. I'd like to pitch in - a bit late, but right now I got some spare time - a Sona.
I've seen a couple of her animations that instantly reminded me of someone using turntables.
I wanna go more towards a 'Tron-ish' look and see if I can pull of something like that with just a diffuse map while staying true to the LoL style. So here's some inspiration.
I'll post some blockout shots later this week.

Skyerzz - Thanks! Prima ballerina from the future! I might pick up some of those light details.
So here's some nights' progress - quick blockout and color coding
I'm not so sure about the turntables, I need to exaggerate more & of course all the small dangly bits, cables and so on are missing.
But maybe all the speakers should be turned away from her ? Since she have the headphones...
Keep it up, you are going in the right direction!
I'm glad you guys like it so far.
Abrvpt - Thanks for pointing out the obvious! I turned the speakers away from her.
Sukotto & slosh - Totally right, all the buttons, etc are way too small to see them from afar. So here is a version with lesser and bigger shapes.
Also I went a bit more towards the 'tron-ish' and used identity discs for turntables with pick-up head shaped as the flying tank things from the original movie.
I yet need to figure out how I want the speakers to be...
I started to sculpt the body. There won't be so much visible skin besides face and cleavage so I guess I will start with the bodysuit & jacket and add detail afterwards where/if neccessary.
I went through some revisions up to this point:

to finally get something functional and worth showing.
The turntables still need some treatment.
All thoughts are greatly appreciated. :icon3:
Thanks devingeesr.
Now the turntables details are way more reduced & the baseshape unified. The sidespeakers now serve more of an aoe purpose; plus I added a wobbley thing up front which will be a forum logo in the end. :icon60:
Also I tightened up & detailed most of her.

Here is a litte saturday update. I changed the face to a more soft and younger version (thanks Uhni20 for reminding me to look at the original sona concept again :icon3:) and made the eyes bigger. Plus the hair got some sharpening.
Next up will be some hardsurface turntable work.
I hope you like it.
I updated the turntables, added some cables and more.
GameRez model & UV's w/ heavy mirroring (basically everywhere except for the face, hair & headphones for some non symmetric textures):
...and the ao applied to it.
What do you think?
Next up will be values, lightbakes & textures.
I may end up rescaling some proportions in the end.
Here is a texture update - still stuff to do, plus I removed the sidespeakers - I might use them as floaty bits in the end.

Thanks for mentioning it D_Wall. The texture is at 2k and seems to be filtered strangely by scetchfab. Its not as bad if you look at it fullscreen. Sorry about that. But ie the speakers do need more work, as well as some tightning up here and there.
This is how she looks in Marmoset.
poseing & more texturing

What a ride together with such talented competition!
Thanks to everyone that commented and took note of this thread.
I hope you like what came out of it in the end!
