Character Topology Question

GreyTeddy · Jan 2018

Hey guys, I have retopologized a character and concerns were brought up as to my choice in topology around the mid-thigh section.

I chose to do this since she has a stocking that ends there. The 2nd image should clarify this.

Please let me know what you think! Any outstanding feedback is also much appreciated!

i would kick some poly on this round thing on the back and invest them on the legs... make sure every polygone does something for the silhouette...

Yep, I have the same concerns about the knees. The normal map is doing a lot of work that isn't supported by the geometry and is going to look pretty bad when it deforms.
