Female Character Model Needs Identity

[irog]

Hi this is a female character model I am fine tuning and cleaning up the topology on. These are some quick renders to show her off so far. I need to come up with an identity for her...such as clothing types, accessories, props....I don't want to go the stereotypical warrior princess route or any other cliche....anybody got any fresh and different ideas on what to do with her?

could you show the wiireframe as it may be your having some problems with minor box modelling syndrome issues.

Sir,

I don't know what that is...but it can't be good, it doesn't sound good. I am not sure if I did box model this, but I believe that's how it started. Take into account she is my very first ever 3D model of a female...I will get much better with help. I know others have told me something just looks off or not right....maybe it's this issue you are describing? I know the wires are not super efficient on her either. here they are, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yeah box modelling syndrome allright much more than what the modell shows actualy (well try to animate and it become ovuious!), your foing to have horrible problems deforming the thing. Try working on your edgeloop.

read this thread:

see the model looek WAy beetter once he gets the loops in somewhat correct place. Plus they deform right without problems.

Jooja...could you possibly do a paintover on this model for me on the wires...so I can see where the loops should be. I know what edgeloops are, but I don't really know how to judge where to use them or how to implement them. I kind of need further guidance on this problem.

You should be making the loops around the eyes and the mouth, also try to make a 'collar' of loops that flows from the neck. Hard to explain, I think looking at the face loops on my Franken Stienfeld wireframe might help, because of the pose it is hard to see the shoulder area, it is a few threads down...

I have a male character that I will try to post a wireframe of tonight that might be more helpful to you.
