[FIGHTER] Darkstalkers, BBHood, AustinH

AustinH

I'm doing Baby Bonnie Hood, grown up more with a western mix. Harry will be a pointer dog(Danish Hound?) with the picnic basket strapped to him with dynamite.
both guns will be under her shoulders. Detective ones or w/e. I really wanted to keep the Uzi and tried to think of ways to make it western. Any ideas would be appreciated. atm I'm going with the volcano gun(Proper name?). I really wanna stick to the original character trait. Cute but evil. Maybe she's been wolf hunting =D

Here's a quick concept, I'll post my reference pictures later.. I'm sure you'll love them. =P

AustinH

Here's some peice of my highpoly. The face is bugging me but it's ok for now. I'm trying to think of an easy way to do the leather straps going down her legs.

AustinH

Where's the love? Anyway here is a full body shot I'm gonna start the pants next along with the belt details. I'm not too happy with it atm because it lacks a lot of silhouette, I hope it'll be better when I get the rest of her clothing and accessories on her.

Looking nice so far! I feel like the hood you've got going on feels more fantasy than western. I get keeping a hood in her design since it's in her name after all. Can't really think of any designs like this that have hoods though so I dunno what to suggest.

Those boots are looking very nice though, keep it up.

JacqueChoi

hmmm...

Chaps, Spurs, Pocketwatch, holsters, maybe a vest. More tassles, belt buckles, n such..

Definitely needs a cowboy hat.

Trenchcoat could help.


I'm really not getting much of a Western Vibe from her so far. I would push the concept farther, before going too much further into modelling.






Even if you wanted to take her down that slutty cowgirl route:





Showing lots of promise tho

AustinH

Thanks for the critique. I gathered new reference and came up with a few ideas, trying to take her into a less (slutty) direction One thing I'm trying to keep is the cape or some reference to it at least. Otherwise nobody would be even close ever trying to figure out who this character is a remake of. if anyone can think of some other ways that would be awesome. The dog might help too. I'm gonna try to stick to a red and white color palette with brown for some leather. My Clint Eastwood reference is more or less the hat and hood together. along with his outfit being somewhat similar. I'm going with a more fantasy western. as you can see with my new outfit choice.

AustinH

The left one is close to what I'm going for but the guns are gonna be at her sides not her hips. I like the mood in the picture on the right.

AustinH

I've done most of the Highpoly. I still need detail the holsters/gloves/shirt and touch the entire model up. I have yet to add that hat and the cape. It doesn't feel at all like BBHood atm but I think that'll come once I get the cape and her hair in there. The color scheme will add a lot too. I keep forgetting I have yet to do that dog XD

The detail you have right now is great, it's really coming along quickly. A few things i can notice:

-her boots seem to have the same tensile strength as her pants at the moment. Instead of the leather being affected by the weight of itself and sagging downward they just seem to be molding inward a bit, unlike the reference image above. They're squishy instead of worn.

-the vest seems a little too skin-tight, especially in the center near her cleavage. It looks like the cloth was cut in a way to make it press inward in that area instead of just being pulled into the center from the tension of the breasts.

I'm really digging the details on the belt and in the pelvic region. Just flush out those details more. Don't worry about rushing this, you've got 6 weeks left Great job so far.

AustinH

Thanks Suburbbum, great critique. I'll hopefully fix that and do more by the end of tonight. I'll try making the boots look more rigged. She has two left boots atm. I can't mirror the geometry without getting rid of the sub levels AKA I'm lazy.

AustinH

On the left is the old boots and on the right are the new ones. I tried to make them more rigged like my pinup boot reference pic. I relaxed the pants a bit but I'm having trouble with them, they need some luv. I also fixed the tightness around her chest.

Which boot is better..? They are both left boots =P

corinne

Hey I'm doing BB Hood too ! ...Though your quick progress is totally putting me to shame lol.


I think the boot on the left is looking better, but you can take it a bit further if you want:


From your reference it looks like the wrinkles higher up on the boot are pretty minimal with more wrinkles occurring in the ankle, where the boot would bend.

I like the boots you chose, they're a pretty fun design. Your version of BB Hood is looking pretty good so far, keep it up .

AustinH

I tried going further with the boots and it looks to plain from the front view.. I know you won't see it like that when I pose her later but it kinda looked funny so I still died everything down but kept a bit. I moved the stiches and added seems on the sides but kept the seems in the front to add detail. I'm FIGHTING with the pants... I think I need to take away some details and clean up the lower part along with putting the seems back. Anyway here is a picture of my progress and goodnight. =D



I hate folds XD!!!!!

AustinH

I'm still thinking of ways to relate her back to bbhood. I think at this point is the weakest part of my model. I'm giving her a poncho. I might add a hood to it, what do you guys think? I'm going to make the poncho a translucent red cloth with a pattern of sorts.

haikai

I wonder if you might be going overboard on the wrinkles. It's so wrinkled in the lower legs that it doesn't even feel like there are any legs under there.

I think adding some kind of hood is a good idea.

AustinH

I've redone the pants for the third time XD. I made them less wrinkled. I'm in the process of fitting my highpoly with my low. Here is her pistol, You might notice a few details missing if you know what the gun looks like but I'll add those to the normal map later in photoshop =D. Now I just have to make her rifle and I'm finished with the highpoly. I'm not completely sure if I can fit the dog in... but I'm hoping.

Straw

Hmmm......looks great, but the folds are really annoying me ...

AustinH

I think I'm going to build the dog anyway, hopefully I can crunch down some polys here and there. She has 3 guns atm.... I could cheat and make 2 of them static in the holsters, meaning she wouldn't take them out ever. This would roughly give me an extra 1000+ polys for the dog.

Jeremy-S

Yeah, the folds are a little weird, but it's quite obviously still being worked on. Grab ref's, and stick to them would be my advice.

Also, I REALLY appreciate that there's at least one person NOT turning her into a massive slut for no apparent reason. Thanks
