Retrogasm 2019 - Carmelita Fox

Solid_Otter

Hi, everyone! Wanted to keep a thread here for feedback while I work on this. Sly Cooper was one of my favorite games when I was younger, so I wanted to remake Carmelita Fox for retorgasm this year.

Added some color and did a drawover to get a better idea of how I wanted to move forward with shapes. 

And here's another pass with more of the blockout done.

Post weekend update. Got some retopology done and started working on the shock pistol. The hair is giving me a bit of trouble so I'm going to focus on troubleshooting that for a bit.

This is coming along great!

How far off proportions do you want to go? Also I'd like to see her makeup replicated... dark eyeliner, dark red lipstick with black edging, beauty spot, etc. Very much the glamour style heavy makeup. Distinctive.

Thanks! To be honest, I'm kind of playing this by ear. I should be a little more organized haha. I'll be making tweaks to the poly paint pretty soon to get it closer to the original concept.

hey nice!, sly is one of my all time favs. Looks kinda like a slightly younger carmelita, your version being a lot softer and rounder than the more angular and sharp original one. If that´s on purpose then great, if not you could sharpen some stuff up, from the front for example her face is pretty much round

Mine too! I must have played it at least each game at least 5 times. I agree with your critique on the shapes. I'm not sure about the age part, but she is supposed to read as more of a threat, right? I'll mess with the shapes some more to make her look a bit more aggressive and push the triangles.

A bit early, but I'll be away from my desktop all weekend 
Tweaking shapes to get closer to the concept. Still not quite there. Going to make another pass at the hair.

Have a lot of optimizing to do, but I'm getting closer to calling the high poly done! Here's an update.

Have a first texturing pass to show. Most of the baking is done. Still have to finish blocking out the pistol, though. I'll tackle that this weekend.

 Some skinning and texturing issues to sort out, but I set her up with an auto rig and did some render tests.  Quick turntable: link
Any suggestions/ critique on presentation is welcome
