I really, really dig this. You've got a great style down, and the geometry/map is solid. Perhaps push the contrast of the hair textures and really make them 'pop'! May I also suggest adding some sort of faint pattern to the pants or the overskirt, as most of the cloth she has on is a solid color. Maybe add some freckles, a…
Looking good. I have to ask, though - is there any reason why you've gone so low-poly with the mesh? Two segments at the elbow will make for terrible deformation when he bends his arm, his elbow will get all sharp... same with the knee and shoulder there really. Are you planning to animate him? He definitely needs some…
Besides the technical issues already mentioned, for clothing there is a great workflow that is perfect for when you are working with tiling patterns like this. It will put your seams where they would be in real life, assuming you construct your fabrics that way in Marvelous Designer.…
I guess that depends on how new you are. If very new, you could get stuck on that for so long, not getting to learn anything after. Human anatomy is hard to get right. And if it's not right, the clothing built upon it will suffer. Whereas a basemesh will help you will that and you can start working on the clothing. You…
hey man, very cool. I think this is pretty well done! I think what it needs right now is a lot more conrast between it's big shapes. right now everything is pretty much the same value and saturation level. you might want to saturate the cloth a lot more, so that it stand out from the other bits. also, the material on the…
Finally another update! I've been bit busy but here is what I've been doing on this project: I already did some basic clothing and now I'm starting to model some props. I might tweak the face structure a bit, specially the eyes. Another thing I wanted to do is a lamp hanging on some chains attached to his clothing.…
It can definitely be a case of criticizing those that are good... imagine if you're a sculpting badass and someone with barely any 3D knowledge says "Hmm, your cloth could use some work." Do you have the humility to say "Yes you're absolutely right" or reply with "You know nothing - step off, bitch!" :D I personally don't…
If you're talking like that ... "fixing" those problems on the model... then I'd recommend trying to re-do the whole thing from scratch. Use that concept (I like it a lot, as Moose says, nice colour scheme and designs), but this time try to stay really close to the style and feel of the concept. Then completely hand-paint…
I'm pretty sure that is a parachute harness. They also use the same pressure suits for the SR-71 blackbird (Habu) so you might be able to dig up some more ref. Here's all that I could find. http://www.vigville.com/forum_images/U2Pilot/ Like you said some ref has it without the straps and I think that just indicates they…
Hey whipSwitch :) What do you mean show the bottom?! Otherwise, been managing to spend sometime working on my windmill again! Yay! I have begun detailing the door. I have gone with a nice rustic wooden look with a few covers over old key holes, as if they windmill has been owned by a few people who kept changing the lock.…
