Tank Girl

Renaud Galand

hi all, here's my new character. Very first female modeling for me. I'll never look at my girl friend with the same eyes I learnt a lot in the field of anatomy,domain where I don't know much.



I would like to give her a more voluptuous form. I am going to dress her too.



head close-up :



I hope you like it.

c&c are mor than welcome as usual.

looks good, the bottom of face/jaw line look a bit too big though (perhaps bring it forward and up a bit?)

_edit there is a set of muscles from back to arms (and at the front too) to rotate the arms around the shoulder joint, which you seem to be missing, (ie, under/behind clavical down back, attached to scapular? my bone names are a bit rusty) people tend not to have depressions in that area like in your model...

I'm liking the arms and legs. Nice job:) I think her spine could be straightened out a bit. Its hard to tell, but it seems her midsection is too much forward, giving a strange curve to her back. moving those polys backward should help. Can you put up ref. pics for her head? Clean work overall:D

usagi

id say if anything make her less voluptuous. i dont know much about the character but a leaner look seems more fitting, like in the pic there.

it looks good, id like to see it textured

Irritant

Shoulders seem a bit narrow, and the chest seems to bulge out below the armpits due to that. Chest still seems a bit too sunken in above the breasts, and I think both of these things are because of a lack of pectoral muscle definition.

Otherwise, very clean. Just a few tweaks here and there and you should be good to go.

Renaud Galand

thx for all replys

-About the "curve" of the spine : The actual form is wanted. (It's a little cartonny, I know). I'll do some position test after the rigging. It's not a big deal, I think.
-I reduced the breats size too.
-The shape of the face will be refined too I think.

Update soon (with the clothes)
I think I'll choose this layout for the clothes :

Irritant

That's the trick Looks real good!

Renaud Galand

head refine :

DavidCoen

like the face better know, are the kness too thin from side profile? and any thoughts on bringing the top of the feet (near the calf) up a bit to get a slightly triangular shape for the foot (again, in side profile)

the more i look at the way you are doing your geometry, the more i'm thinking i need to go back and have another go at modelling a human...

Renaud Galand

mouth interior to do. I'll start the rig soon.

usagi

looking at it again, im not sure about the way youve done her eyebrows. they seem to round and prominent to me

Renaud Galand

rigged, UVs done and here's a quick wip on the head (about 2h)
Alpha suxx atm, eyeball not shaded yet, etc.

Steakhouse

Some varience on the hair length with the front bangs would help make it a bit more believable.

Is the face set up for expressions? She seems a little bit laid back for Tank Girl...

Renaud Galand

yeah the face will be completely rigged

peanut™

Awsome textures !

Renaud Galand

thx dude ! more to come.

pior

Wow Renaud I like the way the face is shaping up! She'll need some extreme morptargets to convey the Tankgirl feel... Can't wait!

Renaud Galand

thx alot pior !!! And yes don't worry about that, the rig will allow that HEHE

here's a tiny update, I've done her knife.

Steakhouse

Cool you altered the bangs, now all you need to do is vary the length on the outer most edges to help remove the impression that it was drawn in a box with defined edges.

That knife is looking pretty wicked too, but if someone is going to leave blood on a weapon (never mind the fact that it will eventually ruin the blade's edge) it probably isnt going to look so fresh and bright.

Keep cooking man!

Ramucho

wow a turning out pretty good.
But something stills bothers me, the mouth isn't shaping out as if it was holding a cigarette. That's why I thought that in the first head picture the cig was a lollipop .
Hope you'll fix that

cheers

Renaud Galand

like I said before, the face will be full rigged.

johnwoo

Renaud Galand

johnwoo
