i believe lot of the blame falls on the lazyness of artists and art directors who take the easy way out to make a "sexy CG chick" instead of a woman/girl with more natural looking anatomy and believable clothing. sexy cg chicks are one of the most commonly approached things in most cg community next to elves and orcs. dont…
Hi Elmo, Clean start so far. The current style you have now is similar to 'the incredibles' which is good but the anatomy makes me think its a construction worker in a batman outfit. If this is the plan then you need to focus on emphasizing anatomy. Example, I'd also make the shoulders, biceps and torso much bigger. Not…
Brad: I'm glad you focused a lot on anatomy. I needed a bit of guidance on that. And it won't force me to change what I have in terms of clothing too much. I will get right on those when I get back to my tablet. How would you suggest I reduce the noisiness of the fur? Dann: Some pinching at the belt level of the skirt is…
I'm not a master of anatomy but your male model has anatomy issues. In your forearm there is no indication of the brachioradialis, your leg muscles are pretty off, the feet look too blobby, and the butt is way to flat. The back detail looks pretty cool but when creating characters it is important to get the shape of the…
We are 3 already inside the group, so the rule has changed this way: members still take turns in choosing the daily study image but the theme of study change every day according to this order: Environment -> Human Anatomy -> Props -> Animal Anatomy Could be further refined I guess, but for now seems balanced. Also thinking…
Hey Dragon, what are your specific goals? You want to start with the learning the 'basics' and you mention your daily gesture studies. I recommend writing down a handful of short term goals as well. Going off of what you said and your ear sculpt, I assume you want to pursue anatomy fundamentals. With that said, pick up the…
Yeah doing some focused anatomy study is something I've got to do too. Like, knowing whats there is one thing, but actually executing on it is another. I've seen on linkedIN from some of the Rookies judges some general advice for students and one thing they mention was they'd rather see a few perfectly done hand sculpts in…
Thanks for support guys :) @seth: I'll definitely balance things out,Indeed not doing 3d while learning 2d will end up making me rusty on the 3d side for the time I learn to properly draw :poly141: So since my biggest "weak spot" as for now I think it is character modeling and anatomy,I'll start seriously with…
You have a good model to finish, Scultris is a good tool to start sculpting, but I fear it falls short to model a character like Batman in Zbrush you could work it for parts and get better results, in terms of anatomy would say you the lip is a bit strange and the body lacks much definition, I recommend that if you are…
Don't worry, the tutorial was kinda old and basic, more of a workflow demonstration rather than artistic approach, but i highly recommend doing the head portion of the Joan of Arc tut: http://www.3dtotal.com/ffa/tutorials/max/joanofarc/head1.php Modeling heads is 10% technique and 90% anatomy knowledge. Do the Joan Of Arc…
