[Finished] Nadia Fanart - Marie

Justo

I have a very soft spot for Gainax' old shows, for which I've wanted for a looong while to pay some kind of tribute to their legacy. Nadia was a show with its ups and downs during its broadcast and production - but when it got going it was a delight, and I feel like Marie represents the joyful adventures I loved the most about the show.

Hope you like it! While I most likely won't be working on this any longer, feedback is welcomed and appreciated, so I can improve on future works.

I love the way you approached the folds with those crisp cuts and angles, @Justo! It's very cool to see the paint-over process as well. Great work!

Justo

@dGreenberg  Thanks Dave! Love your stylized art - looking forward to how that grenade kid looks when it's done!

Lovely piece of art, great job man!

The hard edges on hair and skin were intentional?
Just curious.

Justo

@marioffgallo Thanks Mario! Yeah I put them there. It's something heavily inspired in Disney Infinity & DINSAI Studio sculpts, though not as boxy as some of those designs.
I tried toning down the amount of hard lines on the skin so as to differentiate it from the rest of the model, but I felt it still needed some lines here and there (cheeks, hands) so as to maintain the overall aesthetic Initially though there were a lot more hard lines on her face, like on her brow, but I felt softer shapes suited her better in the end.

Good job! Nadia is one of my favorite anime-series and the style you did here is really great. Love the sharper lines you put in!

Justo

@Magihat Thanks a lot!  A fellow gentleman of good taste too I see - first 22 eps or so are so so good in my opinion

Good job sir love the sharpness as well So did you end up using blender for this? As I recall your post from the Blender thread

Justo

@another caveman  Indeed I did! I actually talked a bit about that in my artstation submission (second to last pic)

@Tits Thanks for putting this on the front page!
