Manga Character

Hey guys I made this character for a client some time ago, I hope you like it.  Comments are welcome. 

High-poly



final game model.  The final color texture was reduced to 1024, but the normal map is in 4096 to better capture the soft details.

Try to spend some time and work on her further.

Work with reference. Plain cloth isn't so shiny unless it's materials like silk/satin for the ribbon, where there's some spec. Ditto for skin, it looks waxy.



Boots can be glossier than cloth. The shoes need a proper heel and shape.

Given that it is a game model and the textures are simple, consider reducing your polys and texture maps. Half the polycount and a 1k map will easily do the job. Her torso was optimized yet her legs and hair weren't given the same love

Thanks for your critique! This was a job done in a tight budget/deadline. I wish I could have dedicate more time into it, and I had to respect a manga concept so I couldn't redesign the boots or the cloth. I tried to manually sculpt the skirt but I think a physically simulated dress from marvelous designer would have given me better results similar to your reference.  But it could have gone far from the concept, it was a very bulky skirt. The hair was optimized but those cable-like hairs would loose a lot of shape if I kept reducing her polycount. And I could keep writing excuses but hahahaha you're totally right. Thanks again.
