Sorry to necro this thread, but I finished her! Pretty much reworked the whole thing a few times over, been picking away at it slowly, lots of things happened IRL so I'm ashamed at how long this took to finish. Anyway, here's the finals.
I've been looking forward to see the final shots. This is gorgeous; my favorite character in a long time! I especially love the blue light mood shot. Congrats it's awesome!
Great work! Two little nitpicks I have are that the abs could probably be more well defined, and I'm not really a fan of the nose. But yea beyond that this is very accurate and well done.
I really hope SE tries to stay fairly close to the original character designs in the upcoming remake like you have here.
This is absolutely stunning work Blair! You always know how to absolutely wow the community with every project you finish. This project was definitely worth the time it took!
What made you chose those body proportions out of interest?
I wanted her to to have heroic proportions instead of realistic, and for her body to be a little unconventional, (especially compared to FF characters who are usually very thin) the thick and muscular legs for instance
Amazing! Wondering, can you share more info about how you made the hair!?
I made a zbrush proxy first for the hair, and then poly modelled strips over it for a base, and then extruded thin strips from that in layers. It's not a great technique and I'm looking to learn something better in future.
I'll be doing a breakdown for anyone interested in the presentation side of it, I will link things here when I do them, taking a rest for a while first. Thanks for all your kind comments!
Beautiful work Blair! I kinda wanna see more close ups of the face, there's higher res images on Artstation but its not high enough! Looks so nice I want to see it all

Will she be rigged? I would love to see her move around......that sounds wrong doesn't it
Amazing work!
