Hi!
I started a new project and wanted to have a thread with the progress this time.
I'm working on Megumin from Konosuba and this will be my first hand painted character.

My progress so far:

Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hey Álvaro! Looks like you're off to an awesome start with this (and as a side note, your Crimson Avenger turned out fantastic). One thing that stood out for me is the side profile of the face.

If you're going for the specific style in the concept, I think you should try to make the eyes sit a little deeper in on the face. It's most noticeable from the side view, but I think you could also bring both the jaw and mouth up, and move them closer in with the rest of the face. I did a little paint over if that helps explain it.

I think you're definitely on track! The proportions look like they match the character in the concept, and I can't wait to see how you continue to develop her.

Sorry for the lack of posts, been working on this on and off, got the low poly and bakes done.
I've got the base b/w texture with the green channel of the object normal, the AO, curvature and green channel of the position maps. Then i worked on making the outline effect with a duplicated mesh with inverted normals.
