cute version of twinrova from zelda

Macattackk

hey everyone, im participating in the contest at gameartisans for creating a chibi character. i have chosen the design of twinrova, a boss from zelda.

the blue ponytail will be ice and the red one will be fire, same with the brooms.

here is the texturing so far, will a ways to go obviously, any critiques?

here is the original concept: http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/1/16/OoT_Twinrova.png

Is it actually supposed to be cute or just "chibi", big head/small body? Because I'll be totally honest right now that kinda creeps me the hell out.

Macattackk

well its just meant to be chibi but if its creeping you out in a bad way then maybe i should fix something? im ok with her being creepy though. she is a witch and the boss of a dungeon so she cant be too cute looking.

it's severely creepy

Not cute at all.. but it's cool and creepy as shit. Well done.

Macattackk

alright alright, wrong thread title. all its meant to be is a chibi. i guess the question is should i make it less creepy or does it give her character? i think the easiest way for me to uncreepify it is to get rid of that smile

DeeKei

It gives her character, but dear god that's gonna haunt my dreams tonight.

I think with those eyes and mouth it's hard to be cute However it works really well. It's creepy in a good way! Can't wait to see the texture finished.

*Sees thread title* 'cute zelda character'
*Enters thread* 'Manly looking midget stripper'

I did a quick liquify/paintover. In the head many of the problems are stemming from the disproportionate features. Even though it's chibi you need to keep proportions in mind. Round the head out, point the jaw, and, in my opinion, hook the nose more.

The torso looks very masculine. A quick solution is to actually give her a good waist to hip ratio. Make her less boxy and square. Lower her trapezius muscle to make her shoulders flat. Her clavicles are too high. Finally, poofing out the pants more will emphasize her small feminine torso.

Take what you will from it. I think you've got a good start, though, and she could become a lot more readable and appealing with a few tweaks.

Macattackk

thank you for all the replies. Ill definitely make those anatomy fixes Spacey, thanks. I think i want to keep her looking cutish and less witch like with the hook nose and what not but I like the other stuff you said.

I have done some of my own liquifying to try and make her look a little less creepy, what do you guys think before i actually change the texture?

she has a beer gut

Some of the shading on the chest and shoulders seem to suggest strange angles. Her breasts look very... long?

If you want to make the face look cuter and less creepy, don't be afraid to change the proportions and round out the face a bit. I also think that if you were to go ahead and make the character child-like that you just remove the cleavage. Also added the little ties of hair that twinrova has.

I did a quick paintover.


These are just suggestions, but feel free to do whatever you want. Hope that helps.

wow shad0wforce, you just pwned the crap out of my piece lol. im digging a lot of your changes, makes her look way less like a midget stripper as someone said before ha ha. and yea i should have included the hair tassels. ill have to get rid of some polys to fit those in but it really helps the silhouette. thanks a bunch

Macattackk

ok ive taken what everyone has said and showed and made these modifications. plenty of parts still unfinished. is she getting cuter?

KyleJensen

Looking much better than before!

Macattackk

yes, yes she is. thanks to your paintover
