Hey Polycount! Its been a while since I've posted here. 

As the Artstation challenge started I would love to keep my progress posted here as well :) Especially for having a wider audience for additional feedback,



So far I've created my own base mesh for practricing and using a new workflow. Same workflow as Shane Olson, so far i'm loving it!

    Hey man, I think this is a pretty decent block out. It's obviously stylized but still feels good. The main area that sticks out and bothers me right away as feeling wrong, is her head position/ neck position. The rib cage continues up and has a decent angle above the clavicles/ scapulas. Right now it's too horizontal. I hope the attached image helps to clarify!

    I've just pulled the head forward so the back of the cranium aligns roughly with the acromion process area, and angeled the neck so it inserts into the new plane of the rib cage.

    Cool start though, good luck!

    Thank you very much for the feedback! The more pictures / paint overs the merrier.
    I will correct this over the weekend. I've noticed a few more mistakes while blocking in the armor.

    So far, my schedule is to create a general blocking of the concept at the end of this week and have a start at the general anatomy / face during the weekend. Then on Monday ill correct the blocking of the armor according to the new anatomy.

    I will post an update of the armor soon!

    Blocking of the lower armor is pretty much done. 


    I've started with the blockin in Marvelous Designer. I'm no pro at this so its a good practice. struggling and learning a lot as I go. 


    Tomorrow ill start blocking the upper torso.
