Finished another art test here which I had a lot of fun with. My portfolio lacked a female character anyway. The idea was to keep the same body but then change to a new outfit with mostly a texture swap. I would've made more separate geometry pieces for costume #2 but I ran out of time and had to turn it in. Curious to get…
Thanks guys for the compliments and crits. The normal map on the skin portion had increased levels, probably a mistake and resulted in the "scrunchy" look. I ran out of time when it came to posing. The super hero was posed with transpose master instead of a proper rig. I'll get back to that for the Egyptian. Below are the…
Her face looks kind of scrunchy, like she's smelling something she doesn't like and it's making her angry. Less texture definition in and around the nose should help to smooth that out so her expression would read more as "determined" (which is mostly an eye and maybe mouth thing) than "disgusted" or "annoyed" (which are…
Cryptic Studios Art Test? Looks pretty good! I think the bright highlights you've placed on the diffuse for the Egyptian woman are working against you. In fact, you may very well just have too much baked lighting going on in general.
Perhaps it's the posing and lighting, but I think the superhero female came out better than the other. There seems to be a severity in the contrast on the Egyptian (?) woman that makes her body read as kind of lumpy by comparison. Are both of these characters sharing the same texture layout? It looks like you could have…
Hey MaD. Yeah I get this a lot. She was not really meant to be soft & dainty. A lot of my references were super heroes. Kind of a challenge with trying to look tough but pretty at the same time. I've really only made dudes up till this point. I guess Hazardous or Anuximoon (sp?) I'm looking at you guys (er guy and gal) for…
She has a bit of manly things in here. Not an expert, but her jaws look a bit too blocky and pronounced (more manly) and her shoulders look a bit too wide.
On the back of what haikai was saying, I think the proportions of the Egyptian style figure is hard to read in the first image because her body is cropped and we can see the full extent of her proportions, and though her proportions look fine in the 2nd picture in the other her details are masked by the wire frame. Working…
