female anatomy study *NSFW*

seth.

this is something that I have been working on here and there over the last few weeks, but Haz's post and the fact that its needed for a project pretty soon have given me the balls I needed to post it



now I'm not exactly great at males but my female form in particular is bobbins, so I'm hoping that the good people of polycount will crit the F*ck out of this so that I can actually do woman anatomy proper like

heres hoping

seth

almighty_gir

her hands look a little big, and her torso looks a little long, i'd shorten the distance between her navel and breasts.

other than that it's looking good =]

seth.

Ta much gir the hand thing is probably a throwback from her being a boy mesh when she was started...I see what you mean about the torso too....kk good, I have things to fix....thanks again mister

Saman

Yeah, the hands are too big and the torso is too wide as well. I think her calves are too far back too. Something about her waist doesn't feel right either, looks a bit manly but I can't put my finger on what it is. Other than that I think this is a nice sculpture.
I'm curious to how you find sculpting in zbrush as opposed to clay and stuff. You've got some pretty impressive figures on your site!

seth.

hey Goraaz, thanks man, looks like I really did need a few fresh sets of eyes on teh piece, everything that you are pointing out makes sense ta much

Also thanks for the kind words about my IRL stuff, yeah there is a lot in the smaller scale sculpting that you skip just cos of the size of the stuff that you really cant leave out in Zbrush, that and getting my head around proportions in a computer screen have probably been the hardest things to get my head around....I dont do it much nowadays, but a few of us at work have banded together and we are getting something up and running which is nice....I also have a fimo sculpt on the go next to my monitors....its nice to dabble when you are baking stuff....sometimes I wish the bakes would take longer

hey Seth looking good so far, really like your style of characters. especially the face painted troll warrior from your site. where you planning on going with this female character?

dirigible

It's all done somewhat exaggeratedly (reminds me of Saints Row 3), but it's pretty solid.

She does have a pretty masculine upper body, tho.

Di$array

The posts above pretty much covered most points. But I don't know if its me but her arse seems a tad small. Also the breast need to come out at the sides more. Other than that buddy, Good job. We all need a fresh part of eyes time to time.

disanski

Nice start seth and most of the things that are off have been pointed out. One more area that I think could use some work is the space between the top of the trapezius and clavicle area. It looks to me that shoulders/deltoid should either move up or lower the trapezius down.

oo another female study thread, im doing that too!

Pretty decent, yeh jus a few tweaks here and there alredy mentioned ,
ykno the back of the knee, thers a buldge inbetween the hams(fat deposit i tihnk), more convex than anything. idk, keep it up tho im learning muchzors!

seth.

evening folks

Conrad: thanks very much, the troll facepainty thing is kind of old now, I should really take him down off the site but i have a soft spot for the ugly bastard ....I have something planned with another PC user that I'm doing this for....all will be revealed in the near future, I just wanted to cheat and get a head start on my anatomy

dirigible: thank you very much for this, I have spent most of the day reworking her based on a lot of what you have painted....the toes....yeah..uhm, the character will be wearing boots...is that a good enough excuse?
I see what you mean with the saints row reference too, I will try to reign it all back a bit once everything is in the right places

Di$array: thanks for the feedback man,....I was worried that the arse was already too big!! yeah been looking at this for way too long really, ended up sketching a guy yesterday just to see if that would help reset my brain...I dont think it did but now I have another character to add to the unfinished sketch pile

disanski: Ta much, also thanks for the crit mister, the trap has been changed, I also ended up lowering the head slightly after that, I think that I will need to rotate her head up a little now, her jawline seems a bit steep....ahhh tweak one thing, break another


SSquir33: thanks for the heads up on the back of the knee mister, fixed it....I feel your pain on the female anatomy learning...its fun but bloody challenging....also my second monitor is pretty NSFW mopst of the day

progress shots then, I will get to the lower arm and hand tomorrow aftyer work I think, but hopefully this is going in the right direction. Again andy crits are much appriciated



ta much for looking

Dan!

good start Seth. IMO push the curves soften the musculature, watch the shape of the thighs especially in the 3/4- here's a PO which I may have pushed too far but the point is made I think.

seth.

Dan, thats awesome, thanks man, I feel like such a muppet seeing where I am and where I need to take it next.....my eyes are a bit hurty tonight cos I have monitors the size of postcards at work but I will be sorting this out post haste

thanks again mister

seth.

found time to make adjustments and stuff tonight....I think that I'm on the right track which is nice.....

thanks again for the help Dan, you are a star

further crits etc much apriciated
