[WIP] Assassin (Real Time Character)

Notink

Hi all ^^

I'm currently working on a real time character. The concept is from Lily Kim and you can find the original post here.

Of course I'm always looking for feedback from the community ^^

HarlequinWerewolf

Cool concept and good start. One thing that is standing out to me is that her eyes seem quite far apart and I think if you want to go for that anime style face, I'd lengthen her face and make her chin a little more pointed. Look forward to seeing this

Notink

Thanks a lot @HarlequinWerewolf ^^ I will look into it

JohannesAg

I think the forehead is protruding a bit too far in the profile view. Temples are a little wide from the front as well. 

Notink

You're totally right @JohannesAg I noticed it while working on the eyes too. I hope that what i did improved the anatomy

JohannesAg

yeah I think it´s better, there is some more stuff I think you could take a look at tho. Mind you I don´t really do stylized stuff so maybe I´m not looking at this with the right eyes but I think these things could be worked on a little  

Notink

Thanks a lot @JohannesAg it will really be helpful ^^

I'm trying to emulate the style that can be found in Korean and Chinese artists' works, but a solid anatomy is always the best to start so I really appreciate your diagram

Notink

A little update with the corrections for the head and small changes for the clothes

kanga

The head shape and position of features is a bit wonky. Slip a skull model (you can find it online for free) under yout model to check stuff.

Notink

Thanks for the feedback @kanga I've tried to apply what you advised me. I needed to change a bit the skull since it was a male skull and there are some differences with a female one. And I'm not sure if what I did improve the anatomy or if it made it worse

I will study a bit more the face's anatomy and how to apply it and will come back with I hope a better sculpt but as always I will be very happy to hear the community's feedbacks

Notink

This is where my work is at the moment for the face. I think I will take a break from the sculpt to study a bit more the anatomy. In the meantime I will start the clothes' retopology. I think this part will take some time since I want to render my character in Unreal with an optimized polycount.

An update with the head's new version and the beginning of the retopology

JD_Sculpts

the head looks definetly better now anatomy wise! maybe refine the oral commisure a little bit more at the lips. so far well done

jose.fuentes

look at all those quads! nice topology 

Notink

I totally agree with you @JD_Sculpts the lips' commissure need a bit more of work and it's definitely  on its way

Thanks a lot @jose.fuentes I'm trying to get a retopology as clean as possible since the character will be rig and animated later ^^

The topology looks pretty good! The head is way cuter now. I would try to give it another pass though, it kinda feels to me like it is in between two styles, some parts are realistic and some parts are more on the anime stylised side. The neck feels too thick, and some features of the face like the brow area or the nose too defined imo. I would also recommend as earlier said to refine the oral commisure a bit, pull it inwards a little bit. You could make a quick blockout of the hair to help you nail the look of her face aswell.

 (woops sorry for the double post)

Notink

Thanks you @Nandx ^^ I will try that with the hair it might be easier indeed, also from your point of view what parts are still too realistic looking ?

Notink

Another update this time with the baking and the beginning of the the face's texture, it's mostly procedural so it won't be a problem if I change the face's structure later.

Notink

A better view of the wireframe and my first try for the clothes' textures

Notink

An update with the final version of my highpoly and the first part of the hair
