Decided to start a polycount thread for once about something I'm working on.

Concept by Nadezhda Tikhomirova

Blockout of shapes

Repurposing another head mesh for the face

Face now with eyes

Getting to the rest of the body and testing out a really messy method to get the skirt frills. Right is testing the flow to match the concept.

Hey, this is looking great so far! I've been wanting to work on this same concept for some time now but you beat me to it

So far, the only crit I can give is that I think you should simplify the white cuff of the sleeves (over her wrist) just to help match the concept and style a bit more. I like that you got her feeling lean and strong too. Well done! Looking forward to seeing more progress

Great progress, I love the hair!
I have a couple points; Right now I feel the arms are drawing a lot of attention. The hands are a bit too large and maybe it would help to push the shoulders a bit more backwards like in the concept.
Also, don't fear the sharp angles! You captured them nicely in the hair, but it would add a lot of character if you apply that same sharpness on her forehead, cheeks, eyes and chin, just like the concept. Same goes for the dress, notice how each shape is very bold and unique, where in your dress the folds repeat a lot, and are very round and smooth, contradicting the energy in her hair and expression.

In short; don't be afraid to go all out and be expressive! Be bold in your shapes and be consistent in your shape language.
Good luck, I'm sure it's gonna look great! I can't wait to see it with colors

Bit of an update, adding color because why not.

I think her boobs are a bit too high on her chest, look a bit odd on the closeup shot
keep it up!

Got to adding some changes thanks to feedback from here and discord.

I think I'll call the high poly done unless I get some serious feedback.

Holding off on the engraving until SP where it'll probably be easier to make/translate.

Almost finished with the retopo.

Got the rest of the retopo done, gonna give whatever the cool kids are calling "2.8" a try. Who knows? Perhaps I'll kick my autodesk habit in favor of the freedom of... freeware.

Woo! Looking good, can't wait to see how you go about texturing, are you going PBR?

thegreatjug · Mar 2020

Bakes done, UVs gotta be done in Maya since Blender is clunky as hell for UVing. Just presenting with vertex colors from Zbrush, not unhappy with the results!

Nice work

did a pretty good job of translating the concept to 3D, if I could critique anything I'd say her brows could be a little bigger/longer. Same with her lashes, they look decent on your model but they're just that little bit different from the concept that makes it feel off.

I know you're already past retopo just wanted to give my two cents
