[WIP] [Character] Stylized Black Panther characters

waruta

I've been working on some stylized PBR versions of Black Panther characters as a personal project. Here are the block-outs of two of them, with a bit of color added. Any comments/suggestions are much appreciated!

One more block-out, now I will be moving on to refining the shapes and adding some details for all three characters. I'm finding this hairstyle kind of tricky to do in a stylized way, hopefully it looks better with some more sculpting and texturing. Comments and suggestions are much appreciated!

wow, you def nailed the likeness, great job so far

I think for Nakia, you need those curls tighter together and have much more random placement as well as some size variation.  There is far too much space between the curls and they are practically a grid pattern right now.

Thanks, you are totally right about that. I'm going to redo the curls with that in mind.

Yeah, it happens really fast in the movie, but you can see it much better in the concept art.
