Schoolgirl - 小女孩

Chrysanthi

This is the new project i'll be working on! It is based on this awesome concept:

Check out the artists portfolio, he has some super cool colorful characters!

The style i am going for is inspired mostly from the game Hyper Universe. I believe it fits this character a lot. I use this video to reference the proportions and to check out the characters and their skins:

I started blocking out, nothing exciting yet. i' m thinking of using Marvelous Designer for the school uniform to learn the basics of the software.
Any kind of feedback is always appreciated of course! ^_^

Clothing progress
Posting some progress of my high poly. I think i want to reshape the skirt because i'mm not 100% of the way it looks. I need to work on the arms and the legs next! Feedback is always welcome! ^_^

Tits

Good start on this!
I definitly think there is a couple of thing that could be fixed about the anatomy however.
In some shot the sternocleidomastoid looks a bit odd,it gives a weird curved look like its going toward the neck center instead of toward the back of the ears. I believe the shoulder are also a bit too round. I would also rework the scapula area which looks a bit odd at the moment.
On the last shot the but also looks like it's has a bit of a weird shape to it, it looks like it's pulled from the side, gotta add some meat in the inside/middle of the cheek too!

Regardless of all that, nice start, looking forward to see where you take this

Chrysanthi

@Tits Thank you so much! Yes, i definitely need to fix the anatomy, i probably should have done it sooner but i got carried away with the cute clothes... XD
Your feedback is super helpful! I'll work on it the next few days!

Chrysanthi

Worked on the anatomy, i tried to fix all the problematic areas. Not too happy with the changes i did on the head-neck area. I'll probably go back to the slimmer face, it looks a bit wide at the moment. I didn't spend too much on areas that will be covered.
Also, i think i am almost done with the clothes, i need to work on the shoes and do some touch ups.
Feedback is more than welcome! Especially on the anatomy and how similar the face is to the concept!

This is looking good, I think you obviously leveled up since the mech! Feedback:

1. Rotate the ears outwards so they stick out a little more
2. The underboob area looks boxy, probably a little deeper crease and some smoothing of the curvature would help(especially on the 3/4 view on the bottom left, you can see it's more like a rounded rectangle)
3. Cloth seams on shirt are a bit simple, I think if you run a dam_standard  with low strength on each side of the existing seam it would look better
   
4. You could form the thighs a little more and exaggerate their shape.
5. For similarity towards the concept the eyes are more even on it, meaning you should rotate the left eye counter clock-wise and the right one clock-wise, so the outter edge of the eyelids are even with the tear duct. This is a stylistic choice though, personally I like the face you got here.
6. Maybe make the mouth a little narrower

Hope this helps and isn't too much! Keep it up!

@AgelosAp
Wow really helpful comments! Thank you so much for the feedback and the good words!

Enalya

I love the concept art indeed! Can't wait to see where it's going, I'm following this one

Chrysanthi

Sharing some more progress. I am pretty happy with the she looks at the moment so i'll move on modeling the gun. I still want to get back to her to work on the anatomy of the legs, the fingers and do various touch ups!
Feedback is always welcome of course!

Hi!
Take it or leave it but I did some paint over for the face.
What's bugging me the most is mostly how ''deep'' the back of the cranium/nape is. On the side view the neck is super wide and the back of the head is coming out way too far.
If you look at a bald head, see how the nape of the neck is higher and way closer to the ear than yours, 

Also I did some small suggestion regarding eye size, jaw /face shape from the front and also to the chin in profile, I believe it could be brought forward a bit for a more natural profile and 3/4 view
I believe that the head can be polished a bit, I feel it currently looks a bit odd on the profile view (mostly because of the neck/head area and 3/4 view because of how back the chin is.

Chrysanthi

@Tits Thank you for the feedback, i didn't notice the mistakes on the cranium and the head/neck area!
The suggestions for the face are really interesting but i don't know if they suit the cartoony/anime style i am going for. I'll try them nonetheless!

Chrysanthi

These two weeks i worked on the gun and i believe its almost finished! I had to do a paintover over the concept because a part of it isn't clear (please don't judge my 2D skills... lol).
Of course i had to change some small things since they didn't work in 3D space.

Chrysanthi

I think the high poly is close to done! I still want to do some small touch ups though.
I'd really appreciate some feedback at this point, before i move on the next phase! ^_^

andyvargas

she looks totally so so so so cool! i love her so much! everything!

Chrysanthi

@andyvargas Thank you for your nice words!!! ^_^

Chrysanthi

Done with the final touch ups! I changed the legs a bit and added some folds on her panties!
I'm moving to the retopo part!

Chrysanthi

Long time no post! The last couple of months were very busy for me so i didn't have much time for personal stuff. Now i have finally more free time in my routine so i am going to continue working on this!
Sharing my topology and bakes! I still need to do some touch ups though, after that i'm moving on to the textures!

Chrysanthi

Posting some texture progress. I have mostly worked on the skin and the eyes. For everything else i put some basic colors and materials for preview purposes. I am pretty happy with the way she looks so far but i still have a lot to do.

Rikard86

• Liking the texturing on the face so far.
• Her eyes seem to be bulging out a bit a bit at the bottom, so if you don't want to properly pose her face you should close them a bit.
• I think you could have spared a few extra polygons for the hair, especially for the bangs around her fringe which seem a bit too jaggy when compared to the what's around it. You can still go back and change that if you haven't started texturing it properly.
  

Chrysanthi

@Rikard86 Yes the thing with the hair was bothering me too! I'm going to add some loops!
And you are right about the eyes, they will look better if i close them a bit.
Thanks a lot for the feedback!

Chrysanthi

I finally found time over the weekend to finish my textures on this girl! Feedback is highly appreciated! ^_^

VelvetFury

its looking pretty amazing 

Chrysanthi

@VelvetFury Thank you!

slosh

She looks pretty good!  I'm not a fan of how the japanese text gets flipped on the gun handle.  is that cuz of mirroring?  I would give the other side proper UV space and either put the same text but oriented correctly or something else.  Feels a bit lazy to leave it as is.  Just my ten cents...

pq_zone

射爆~

Chrysanthi

@slosh I actually didn't think about that, I wanted to save space on my UVs but, you are right, it doesn't look good... XD
i'll definitely fix it! Thank you so much for the feedback!  

kawaiispacekillers

Nice sculpt ! like slosh, it's even the same prob with little graphic on the gun, on side it's hided by the sangle holder, but i really really like your sculpt ! 

Chrysanthi

And i am finally done with this project! I really learned a lot about stylized character modeling and texturing. ^_^
