Character: Lady Dark Knight

Jutunis

Hey everyone!

This is my first post! Hoping to make it count.

I just started on a character idea I've been playing with and would love some critique.

Here's a sketch of what I had in mind:

I did some sculpting to get down some volumes for her body and I've been having trouble with her face. I've been staring at her for hours and would like some fresh eyes and opinions on how I can improve her face; maybe fix parts that I'm not seeing. Please excuse the temporary missing ears.



Thanks and I hope to be part of the community more!

I like your design. definitely put ears on her, though. do you have a reference for the head?

Jutunis

The ears are coming up next!
There were some pictures I referenced loosely, but I really should find a solid reference to go on. Thanks!

love the design dude ! can't wait for the finished 3D version !

Jutunis

@Wyrdalos Thanks, dude!
Here's another shot of my WIP.
I've blocked in a bunch of the major volumes for her armor. I'm still debating between changing the tassets or sticking with the concept version.

Thanks

Hey! Had some free time to work some more on her Hip piece. I think I like this version better.
I'm also playing around with some light filigree on the tassets. Wanted to try and break up the emptiness in that area. still debating whether to keep it or not.



Thanks!

What is that wrapped around her waist? I like some of the material folds you have but it is looking very thick. If it's a cloth I would work on thinning that out a lot. Also, I would work on the silhouette of this character a bit more. Are you thinking of adding any kind of accessories/weapons, etc.?

Jutunis

Hey Nickcomeau,
Thanks for your feedback! 
That is a cloth wrapped around her waist. It's definitely too thick and I'm thinning it out for next update.
I was planning on giving her accessories/weapon, but I'm not sure what just yet.
Did you have any suggestions how I might improve her silhouette? I'm up for any ideas!

Thanks

Looks really good so far. i love the folds at her hip. Maybe some leatherstaps or something like that would be cool for the breastshild. I like the concept.
