Wow, she's really gorgeous now! About body proportions, I believe there's nothing more to change, she's perfect. On face, I see that her eyes are popping out too much. I think that if you pull the eye globe a little bit back, and the upper eyelid too she'll look better.
Keep it up!
Don't know if it is a perspective issue, but I notice her expression different, and I think was better the first one. She looked more "I like to be a bad girl" to me.
jramauri: glad you like it ^^, i'm going to tweak the eyes some more. It's carefull work around the face because the least pull can make her look alienish
Malus: haha yeah you're right, i didn't even think about that.
Viktor: i tweaked the face after that first version, even though i'm still searching for the right proportions there i do think i gotta keep it rather cute than badgirlish since that's the overall idea. I want her to look cute and provocative at the same time. In the end i'll give her a sexy pose and facial expression.
made her batpack (still needs some refining)
also working on her attributes , i tried making the fabric that hangs from her back in the concept . Even though the shape looked good it covered too much ass to my taste so i'm probably going to ditch that :P. I'll post an image with some of the attributes later tonight or tomorrow
Looks fantastic! I'm seriously in love with those boots. And reduced ass coverage is definitely something I can get, er... behind. :P Seriously though, the shapes of the hip/pelvic area are super sexy, so it'd be a real shame to cover any of it up.
feel bad for not updating but i'm going to update when i have something good to show
currently i don't have a lot of time/non tired mind but i'm still working on this one
i'm retopping and doing some hair tests , once i have something i like i'll show it
Hi, its a lovely character and a great treatment of the brief. As for suggestions, maybe reduce her foot size? I think it would help sell the silhouette more and push the cartoony proportions. The hair test looks great and the simple gradient works a treat.
I think you've lost some of the cuteness in the face, perhaps compare to your concept again and see which direction you prefer? I personally really like the face in the concept.
tnx for the suggestions guys (and lady), i'm going to make the feet a bit smaller and add some more curve to the ankles.
The face cuteness is because of the pure white eyes and the mouth that isn't laughing atm i think. I'm going to pose it in the end and i'm sure that's going to bring back te cuteness (and if it doesn't i'll just tweak it untill it does ^^)
Cut down a bit on the fresnel, it's kinda distracting imho.
Also, she could use some tasty skin shading on the fleshy bits.
The hair is pretty solid looking (if that makes sense). I take it you're going for some stylized look for the hair and nuttin' too fancy pants? I'd say properly define some large clumps of hair with some secondary details here and there but not too much in general.
still my favorite entry so far. from your turn around, the butt looked a little bit low poly. i'm not sure how you're using your poly's, but that area should probably be a bit smoother.
Maph: haha yeah, i still had the fresnel on from when i was testing some studio cubemaps. I have an idea for the final presentation that requires them but in the preview it isn't what it's going to look like yet.
For the Flesh i'm not sure yet if i'm going for an SSS shader, i don't really know any good ones that 3ds max supports. And for the hair i've made a small update. (Alpha planes are a BITCH , i can't believe noone has made a good realtime hair plugin yet that enables you to make good alphaplane hair and style it).
The secondary details i'm still searching for some good ones, i think a necklace and some straps will work on her.
oh en hey ik wist niet dat je ook een belg bent .
Christermime: yup i'm making love to the boots as we speak :poly142:
Tyrone: tnx dude, great to hear that others like my entry , i also added some more loops to her butt so make it smoother
updated the gif above with some updates (skinning is still wip )
i hope i can get a better alpha preview for hardware rendering enabled shots, it gives me these dark edges
Aweseome! It's probably too late to mention this, so don't worry about it, but thongs that thin usually disappear into cheeks that big.
but everything else is perfect. i love how you managed to get it looking like it was drawn by Chris Snaders. i hope you do well.

Alpha-planes are fun once you get the hang of it imho. I think it's great to see it all coming alive when you're placing them all one by one!
But that idea for a plugin would a cool thing to have actually. Should be "easy" to do in Unity I guess.
Wonen in Gent, en werken in Antwerpen m'n beste.
Latest updates are looking good man! Totally digging the eyes, although I think she has a bit of a "dead stare" to it... It'll probably help if she's looking seductive into the camera.
Overall, the model is coming along fantastically. I love the style and the shapes of the whole thing. I think your spec map right now is too strong, the skin is looking slightly plasticy, especially around her nose and lips. Same with her bum on the turnaround. I agree with the comment that the batwings get lost as well. Keep it up! Can't wait to see her polished and perfect.
LRoy: very good point , in the preview they also collide a bit with the mesh but that won't be the case in the final post. I'm also gonna fix the color to make it stand out a bit more
Maph: bij mij momenteel net het omgekeerde ^^, yup the dead stare is still there. It's going to be fixed with the skinning and morphtargets
Christermine: yeah i've been tweaking it over the weak so that will be fixed too
So I've been setting up a scene in UDK this week for my final shots, I'm getting there but i won't post a preview just yet .
What i can show is morrigans new pet that's a small wink to chris sanders stitch
Nice model you got there, good interpretation : )
If I can comment, I would try to remove the reflection effect on the skin, but I don't know if it was intended like that or not (she looks kinky with all that oil on her ; ).
Also, I think if you made her arms a bit thinner like on your original drawing and made the feet wee bit smaller, it would emphasize her "bottle" silhouette more : )
Keep up the good job and see you Monday at the offices !

Good luck.
SupRore: I know what you mean, i'm trying to find the right balance atm between toonish smooth and defined forms
i'm kind of starting to like this balance so i think i'm going to move on to clothing her

Keep it up!
This is awesome.
Although my brain is confused by her spinning the opposite way to her hair flow...argh. lol

An update to keep this one alive
A first bake (don't mind the hair i'm going to replace it)

i hope to get some more work done this weekend
Finally started some diffuse painting (flatshaded atm)
tried some alphas at first but max fucks them up when viewing them
everything is still wip
suggestions are very welcome

concerning the feet, i think it'd look better if you'd slim the ankles down a bit, it's missing some silhoutte in the lower legs.
otherwise, looking great.

i think i'm going to experiment some more for better hair
Also, she could use some tasty skin shading on the fleshy bits.
