I started working on this sculpt a while ago based on this cool Shen Yh concept.
I have my own ideas of what I want to tweak before I finish polishing her up. But, I wanted to share and see what anyone out there thought. Any and all input is welcome.

Here is some progress from yesterday and today. I tweaked some details on her jacket and worked on her face some more.

I really like her hair, and the armor/clothes are great! One feedback would be the abdomen plate thing looks a bit bare, but that might be intentional so I dunno.

Great model and concept choice. The only thing I can see is that the backside (gluteus) Is a bit strange from the back view. In the front view the hip size looks good, just the rear. Not exacly sure what it is.

Dill-n · Jul 2017

Thanks for the comments guys.

sainarayan yeah I believe that is intentional, that's how it looks in the concept. There is a bit of subtle definition on her abs there that I have yet to refine though

kanga yep, you're right. does look a bit odd. thanks for bringing my attention to it.

TeriyakiStyle Thanks! Yeah, I plan on doing the weapon once I have the rest of her in a good spot.

Dill-n · Jul 2017

Not a ton of big changes, but I was able to tweak/ clean a few areas over the weekend.

Excellent recreation! It's pretty difficult to notice inaccuracies, but I did see a couple nit-picky ones. The eyes do seem a bit too high and angled compared to the reference. The structure and proportions of the shoulder armor could be adjusted to more closely match the ref, especially with the scale of the pink "X" cylinder; once you get that pink texture on there, it's going to look very small next to other secondary details. The overlap of the fabric on the bracers could be exaggerated more as well. Other than that, it's fantastic.

Any thoughts on what the final pose will be?

Here are some images I posted on artstation. Fixed a couple things. I have plenty more more I'd like to continue tweaking though...

this is awesome!
it does look like she is leaning a bit forward though, pulling her torso back a bit might make her look a bit more balanced.

Dill-n · Aug 2017

Thanks lotet! I will totally give that some attention.

I think I may take a break from sculpting her for a bit, maybe start on her weapon. So, if anyone has any other crits or comments please feel free to let me know

Dill-n · Aug 2017

I worked on her weapon over the weekend. The pink blade part is still very messy, I'm still thinking about how I want to do that in the final piece. Crits and comments still very welcome

Finally got around to posing her and creating some renders.

wow, for a sec there I though your render was the concept art, thats a really sweet render!
thats a highpoly render right? are you gonna make a game rez version?

kanga · Aug 2017

Thanks lotet! It is the high res. I don't have any concrete plans for a game res atm, but I would like to. I really want to work on something else for a little while haha. But, I may start chipping away at the game res in between things.
