This is an older character that i decided to revive for portfolio purposes. I'd like to output to a game eventually (quake4?) but for the time being, its just for purty renders. its 6950~polyz
thanks
yeah the eyes were something i had to address, it was late so i put it off for later. I adjusted the torso proportions and lenghtned her arms a bit.
Eyes could definitely use more work - something which I'd suggest is to move the verts of the upper eyelid forwards, so that they're further forward than the lower eyelid, it should look more natural than the shape there currently.
Also, the geometry around the nostrils is looking a little large and sharp, maybe move some verts around there to make it less obviously low-poly.
I really like the feeling of volume though, and the overall consistency is very good too.
dont worry Dizzy, your not the first one. I'll probably push the proportions further. Im working on adding finer details for the next update. Im starting to get the hang of this crazy normal mapping shit.XD
Hide the hair and other stuff on her head and post a front, side and an angle shot like that. This will make paint overs easy and will help stop the manly woman look.
I don't think the face is looking too manly.
Possibly the reason people are getting a "manly" vibe is from the width of the neck and clavicle area - it's really beefy and nowhere near long enough. Didn't notice that till now.
Really like what you've done with the mouth though, looks nice.
looks sweet. i could tell it was a female from the face. that and i read the thread title
the lips look very like avril lavigne. what makes her look a bit masculine is the square jaw. maybe try putting a slight dip in the bridge of the nose. also her shoulder muscles look a bit over developed. maybe lower them a bit to show a thinner neck
not sure what else you could do. she has a lot of equipment covering her femininity.
as cliche as it is, you could possibly open up her shirt more and have a bit of breast showing. not quite Eva from MGS3.. though you werent trying for that kind of look
Front and 3/4 views look fine to me, it's the side view that's giving it the manly vibe, probably. She has a very sharp and big chin in the side view, you could probably round and soften it out a little. Also the nose is looking kinda chunky in the side view, partly to do with the height of the nostrils.
Kerplunk...
Your problem lies in the nose, nose bridge, and chin, and sort of in the neck. Pat attention to the shift in location of the nostrails in relation the the nosetip.
I don't think the face looks manly, but she has a very unsexy shape to her lips right now and I think because you set her gogles so high on her forehead it makes her entire head look too long. You should shorten the length of her head a bit and give her full lips instead of the tight ones she currently has and it'd probably do wonders for her face, because the first thing I thought of was that her face doesn't look good.Everything else on the model looks great though!
Just noticed that I think her eyes are a smidgen too wide set as well.

but the eyes maybe too big?

Keep up the good work!
Maybe I'm wrong but I'd prefere his legs a little bit more large , if not for Q4 he looks fragile as child.
Don't worry about that, a 6k model is waaaaay too much for Quake 4, anyway.

of course I agree with You - his model is already very very cool.
graves ,
I hope that You don't mind - I've done small re-touch Your picture to see about what I'm talking.
I widened his trousers - front & side
Realy nice model.

Holy shit
I've supposed that it's a boy with "angel face" - You know what I mean ?.
I'm sorry for this misunderstanding.
Excuse me once more time and last time
You know that I'm fan of Your work as "Solid Snake , Raiden or .....or ....Milla Jojovich from 5th elements."
Go on - get her into Q 4 .
Looks good, cept the face of course(Unless thats what you where going for)
Keep it up,
Alex
