WIP - Jackie

Hi!

So this year I want to pump out a character every month with the goals of Improving my speed, workflow, quality and to learn from all the mistakes I will make and become more confident in my character art.

I picked this concept through a google search and have modelled out a pretty detailed basemesh. Most of the hard surface bits will probably not be modified too heavily once I take it in Zbrush.

* I haven`t decided if I`m going to do the hair as one big volume or alpha planes

Comments and critiques are welcome,  

Thanks!

You have a really nice portfolio, and I like your goal, please keep the updates coming!, I added this thread to favorites

You really should have sculpted out her anatomy before doing all the clothes.  Once you do that, inevitably things will change and it will be a bit more of a pain to fit all those pieces you already modeled.  Proportions look pretty good though...interested to see how this goes.

Thanks for the Tip, When you are sculpting a character do you normally work on the head and body as separate tools?

I've gotten started on the sculpt.
As Slosh said, I did have to readjust the clothing after Sculpting the body.
I began working in the folds on the Blouse, I'm wondering if I went overboard with all the fold.

I also need to raise the crotch just a big as right now it's actually hanging a good 2 inches below her bum

Almost done the fabric, I went back and redid the blouse with alot more reference for the folds, Learned a little about a few different kinds of folds and how they work.

Sculpted the Gloves and Boots

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've learned to try to have only a few major wrinkles and not to exaggerate every wrinkle. I also learned to use topogun, which is an amazing program <span></span>
I've also realized I need to work on my facial structures. I think I will try to do a few quick face sculpts once i finish this to get a better with heads. 

I'm currently modelling the hair with planes, and hopping to finish this as soon as possible so I can move on to a new character.


Here is the character with a temporary hair style I stole of my last character and some base colors.
