Legend of Zelda - Jumpin' on the Bandwagon

Lord McMutton

May as well, right? I thought I'd do the last of the trinity, Zelda.

Starting with some concepting:

[SF]Three9

yesssssssssssssssssssssssss do it!!!!!!!!!!

[SF]Three9

btw i personally feel like, judging from the concept, that the earrings are going to be a bit too small...maybe increase the size of them by .5? Very minor thing, and probably more my personally opinion than anything, but other than that I can't wait!

Lord McMutton

W00t!

I think the outfit may be a little too busy?

[SF]Three9

it's no busier than the one from twilight princess, I say you're fine

marq4porsche

It looks beautiful so far! my only crit is her crown, I think it comes too far down her nose, it makes her look alien. Very good so far though, I'm actually looking forward to seeing this one even moreso than the others!

ErichWK

So rad! Ugh...I wish I had time to make something Legend of Zelda related...

HughieDM

Yeah great concept so far her hair is a little to symmetrical on both sides of her face but good work so far
cant wait to see color

Lord McMutton

Thanks, fellows. Got started on the modeling:


My program doesn't render that well, so I tried her out in Marmoset, but I'm having problems with a bunch of missing faces. Is it a limitation of the trial version or something?

[SF]Three9

looking great! I feel like her shoulders are a bit wide though (and no worries, my Ganondorf still has that problem too, urgh)

um, what are you modeling in? It could be an issue of inverted normals

ErichWK

In Marmoset, if it's missing pieces.. either the normals are inverted for that section, it's 5+ sided poly, or when you exported it as an .obj you forgot to check all the options as positive.

Lord McMutton

Ah, that was it. Thanks, Erich. Yeah, I was wondering about that, Three. I'll get to that later.

Did some work on the crown:

Also, hands:

Any idea why the gem's shading is completely flat? And what of those odd edges on the wings and parts of the dress?

Lord McMutton

Just about finished with the accessories and stuff:

conte

i don't think eyes here should be modeled(right now they feel like bug's eyes or kinda), better to paint them on texture.

GarageBay9

Yeah... Same here.

Right now I'm almost getting an Area 51 vibe from her eyes. I know they're heavily stylized in the original, but they're not reading well as human or even anime the way you have them right now. She almost looks ready to abduct a cow in a flying saucer or something.

Aranoth

All in gray and with those eyes, she looks like the Wind Waker's Queen Fairy : http://www.zeldauniverse.net/images/games/tww/characters/queenfairy.png


I really like the concept, especially the hairs!

Lord McMutton

It totally does, Aranoth. Anyway, I had noticed the alien thing as well, but what if I...
