Just a quick render test and to show where I'm at with the model. I think I might rotate the girls head to face a bit more towards the camera, and orient her wrists to give the impression that she's really squeezing, but other than that mostly it will be just doing basic anatomy stuff from here.
i gotta tell you. i went back to page one and went thru all the pages and i see a HUGE improvement in anatomy, detail, texturing. its amazing. makes me wanna start one up :) im graduating in 2 months and after that im in to do something like this. thanx!!
Spent a night doing look development on a new character, playing around mostly with the face. I totally abused my body basemesh. Other than very minor anatomy changes and new polypaint, it's pretty much the same model, this was mostly just a focus on the face and attitude of things, see what I liked.
Hey, sweet studies! A small observation: I felt with your latest female faces that the eyes seemed to be just a tad too far apart. I've got little experience with anatomy, but they just looked slightly off to me. Other than that I can only say that I like what I see! :)
Thanks MM. I did try the pose before I started sculpting, but honestly now that I have tried it again, I think I may have been 'over-acting'. I think maybe if I had her hunched over farther than she is, the degree of the legs would work, but yours and Kots look closer to correct to me now. As for the focus on rendering, I…
i think her stomach is way more flat than that in the reference, like... super flat, whereas yours has the classical approach that you see in a lot of sculptures. so while your sculpt is, for sure, anatomically correct. it's not correct to the reference. a fantastic example of how real people don't have "real anatomy" haha.
Thanks nufftalon, I would really like to find more time for anatomy studies. Doing a double would be fine. I'd also like to do a hardcore ecorche, with muscle fibers and veins and everything. I could imagine myself buying some books and being content doing that for months. _______________ Completed model with a clothing…
this is looking great man! I can't offer much help on the rendering front, but I did a quick edit of the face... for some reason the anatomy was buggin me. This is probably just personal preference, and the face you've sculpted could be a real face, but I wanted to see what it looked like with different proportions. I…
I mean, most of my forward movement has been done over the course of this thread. So it's been a couple of years now I believe. I have a couple of anatomy books but my favorite one is 'artistic anatomy' by Dr. Paul Richer, but I've seen lists of anatomy books on this site (general discussion threads I believe) whose books…
@brwnbread - that's great feedback, thank you, I can see immediately that there is some mass of the ribs that seems deflated. Thanks a ton. Did you like scott eatons anatomy class? @almighty, I didn't know that about hazardous workflow. Typically I use the clay buildup then smooth or polish down, but I see how that would…
