[WIP] Character Critique

Fraktayne

Hi,
Id like to get your opinion on this character i'm working on and maybe get some tips on hair / haircards.
Please be brutally honest, thank you.

i think we need a bit more context before giving cirt.  are you going for real or stylized? game or cinematic character? also some more close ups would prob help,  i would add some close up renders of the face as well

Agreed, How are you intending on this character to end up so we can give our opinions in the correct direction

Sorry about that, so for the character I'm going stylized and it's going to be a game character. Stylized in a way that it has realistic proportions but has mid frequency detail. I wanted to know if the proportions are all good and if it looks alright. I also wanted tips on hair because it's giving me the most trouble right now, hence the bald kid. 

Here are the close ups of the body and the torso.

Your overall proportions are looking nice. I'd suggest gathering more reference for the clothes and adding more weight to them. You can make the pants a lot weightier by adding more volume towards the bottom where they tuck into the boots. 

Kinda like this:

You can use a similar workflow with fibermesh in ZBrush, but it all comes down to baking high poly hair clumps onto a flat plane. 


Keep up the good work!
