im just missing blocking out the small bags she's going to carry in her belt, and the planes for the hair.
going to keep working at the pants and sleeves for now.
she will also get some small leather bags attached to her belt.
Just took this from google images to illustrate my idea, but you see how they sorta sag horizontally as well as vertically? Currently your set looks very rigid. Especially with the puffy-ness of those sorts of garments, you're going to want some pretty intense folds around the area.
It does seem like you're rather proficient with folds, but just in case you were going to retain the sorta flow seen in your latest screenshot, I thought I'd post this.
I think im on the right track now? (though it needs refinement)
dont mind the belt and the fabric on the back, or the lowpoly hands. im getting there shortly~
Folds are really hard as you always have to consider the materials stiffness. In order to fix your folds I would choose a much stiffer fabric and gather lots of references about it. Also watch some tutorials about how to paint or sculpt folds as your not the first artist to learn this.
Try to use a diamond shaped gradient to sculp the rough shapes of your folds. It looks like your using the standard brush.
why do you recommend the other brush for folds though?
And where do you find the amount of folds too much?
the shirt is silk cotton mix, there is linen under it, the inner drape is cotton, and the corset is silk and cotton on top of leather.
The pants are of thick linen silk.
Now shes only missing a head-decoration, a small bag and a weapon
last update for today:
Personally, I'm not sure if you should use such a thick looking material for her sleeves. As it stands, they're very distracting in the sense that they sorta.. curve down. It may go against your design, but I suggest that you go back and rework this.
The model is definitely being held back by the sleeves. Silk and cotton probably wouldn't be this thick. If I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.
I fixed some anatomy mistakes and added new sleeves, and refined some details.
Making a pouch, fixing sleeves and making the shoes shine now. Need to work more on the pants. All that is missing is her head-accessory
Next update wont be until ive made the lowpoly and added texture.
i have learned a lot, and realize i need to restart the model to be satisfied with the result later. but i would like to polish it as much as possible!
this is the work ive done so far:
she lacks her ponytail and some better hair textures, her coat and some reworking on the normal map for the hands and thicker linen materials (they turned out kinda funny and edgy after baking them...sadly).
need to fix the gold lines too, theyre too messy.
im still working on the materials and textures to get them right as well
any other constructive criticism i could use for now?
Other than that, kudos on your progress! There are some really good things going on.
