3D character design process/comments

theStoff

I recently started working on a couple character designs. This is mainly a learning exercise that I thought I should post to get some suggestions. Right now I have only posted one of my two character concepts/models. Here I have the base mesh completed for the upper body. I plan to take this into zbrush but I am not sure if it is ready for that (the mesh might still need more tweaking). I am also not sure where to begin once bringing it in to zbrush. Any tips or suggestions on where I can go from here would be very appreciated.

For Zbrush, I recommend keeping the head simple, with even quads and no high detail points.
As for the head I think this will help you http://www.phungdinhdung.org/Studies_paper/Realistic_face_modeling.shtm

Thanks for the link Torrrtilla. It is very helpful. I'm learning a lot more about proper topology
