Semi realistic girl

Decided to make a thread for this since I've worked on it for a while and the thread I posted originally in was intended for small testing and practice, first started out as a doodle but I decided to keep going with it. Previous updates can be seen here (http://polycount.com/discussion/177422/maxilators-random-stuff-thread#latest )

Kept working on the hair a little bit and played around with piercings, kind of fit her I think but I've not decided yet.

Cheers!

cool work man !

Changed around the piercings a bit and added a few for the ears, also added a few more stray strands in the hair and such. I made a pair of glasses but after considering I didn't really feel them, I'd love some feedback, I'm pretty much just going of my own sense of style and taste so some input might open my eyes to something I wouldn't think of.

@seimax Thanks!

Gave her color and eyelashes, some other minor adjustments as well.



I kind of like this desaturated style I used before, but I'd like to know what you think. (Not that this is the final render I think)



I don't know what how much more I could do on her but be sure to let me know if you find anything that I should adjust!

More updaterino, thought she might look good with a tattoo, so I made a fast one to see how it might look, I kind of like it, though this one was pretty fast and messy because I more wanted to see what darkening the throat area would look like. I'll probably make it flow a bit more down over the collarbones though looking at it now depending on whether or not you think I should keep it.
I don't know how much more I'll do today since it's my birthday but I'd still like to hear your comments, no need to be shy!

Come on guys, there has to be something that can be improved, I feel like I'm asking for critique from a wall here.

Hey again, decided to keep fiddling with the tattoo, what do you think, should I keep it, and if so should I change it in any way?

Personally I like the glasses, they added a lot of personality. I would also increase the size of the piercings some, now they read a bit noisy feel way to thin I think.

as for anatomy, most of the features are looking a bit soft and undefined. especially the nose and mouth. another example would be the lower eyelid fold, you could really dig in there with damien standard. I also think the neck and clavicles could be way more defined. you can look at this and this for reference.


hope that help!

@Lotet Thanks a bunch! Good calls, all of them, especially the point about her face feeling too soft, not pushing the edges and planes enough is something I've struggled with quite a bit before so catching me on that is very helpful! 
I still can't really get into the glasses myself, I think they look a bit more contemporary than I'd like, but I would say such a thing comes down a lot to taste.

Here is how she looks now that I worked a bit on her based on what you said about the features and piercings, I also raised the jaw a tad because I thought the face was a bit longer than I liked:



And here is a render with the glasses on for the heck of it:



I'm pretty happy with what that did to the face, do you think I should push it more like that?

Cheers!

Decided to add more of the torso, arms and clothing to her, might start wrapping this up soon if you don't have anything I should change.

Maxilator

Wrapped her up, here is the result!
