Character Art - critiques welcome

Carrath · Dec 2014

Hello,

I started this project when I was looking for some inspiration and found one of Luis Royo's artworks. Since then I'm working on it every time I can. She doesn't have hair yet.

Please excuse the quality, the images aren't rendered. Critique is very welcome!

The face proportions from mouth to eyes seemm REALLY long compared to the illustration. Have you been using Spotlight to double check your eye, nose, and mouth palcement?

Pretty much what Jade said, your face (the model) is a bit longer than the source. The face shape in the ref is round while yours is a bit of an oblong.

No I didn't use spotlight ( I don't know exactly how it works). I did a Basemesh in 3ds Max, the rest is made in ZBrush. I'll look at the face shape as soon as possible. Maybe her eyes will look better then (to me they seem to be very small)

thanks for your feedback

I'd read into how to use Spotlight so you can throw your reference image onto your Zbrush Document.

Mouth and nose are in the right position. The eyes are a little bit higher but to me it looks better. I changed the mask, too. It is wider but not as big as the original. Because if I'll do it like this it seems too big in contrast to her head.

That mask is going to look pretty darn cool. My only comment on the face is that it maybe a bit wide in the front. Id double check how wide the face is around the orbital socket.

In the side profile view you may want to pull the face back a bit. The area on either side of the nose is usually just a combination of the cheek bones and the maxilla, so try to find those first and fill it out from there.

I liked, the second image seems better, maybe you may to try some scars on her face. I dont know if you thought about that XD

There is way more I can say but I don't have time. Good luck!

Hope this helps!

Hey everyone, due to my bachelor and my job I had to take a break and only started working on it again recently.
It is still WIP. C&C is very welcome
