Yeah, that Rockwell girl would make an excellent heavy.
This thread suprises me in a good way. I would have thought the last female character to be modelled for TF2 would be the heavy, I would normally expect to see all the others done up with silicon first.
The concept isn't really keeping with the era they're portraying in TF2, Americana 1920's-1960's. Its a cool concept and the model is coming along nicely, but its a bit too sci-fi/modern for TF2.
Crits:
The heavy has gorilla arms and hands like hams. It's going to be hard to incorporate that into a feminine character and should be turned down a bit, but the arms girth should read a bit more.
- I'd take an hr or two and find out what people of this body type/race where wearing around those times and try to work that in a bit more. Definitely don't use the same buckle as whats on the concept, way too sci-fi.
I think Rockwell's Rosie is a LOT closer to what you should be aiming for. No offense to the artist who did the concept you're working from, but I am not convinced that she could heft the heavy's gun. She looks too soft to me, she should have some softness to her, being a woman and all, but right now she looks much more fat than muscle. Granted, the heavy has a gut, but he still looks really strong.
Also, from what I've seen, women who have the sort of chest and back muscles necessary to lift a gun that heavy, would have smaller breasts.

Keep it up, I'd love to see this finished.
I really haven't been working on this as much as I should be. The hair 'round the back is just a stand-in.
Oh, and thank you all for the replies.
