Great start. I started on this model while ago as well but half way I realised how bad at anime models I am

@jp3d: Thanks!

@tuananhrobert: Thank you! Definitely had issues with getting the face right. Anime styles are not as easy as they look.

Worked on the face topology. Body + Head are now one mesh:

Finalising the clothing. Just the hair and hat left to model. Been swapping between maya and zbrush as I'm not going to be doing bakes. Zbrush is mostly for making sure the shapes are clean.

Small update cause I haven't posted here in a while since I had to take a break from art.
Only the bulk of the hair to go and it's onto UVs and textures.
