Winter Girl Character (CLOSED) (CLOSED)

Hello everyone,
 here I will share my progress and work in progress images for the character challenge.
I'm creating a female winter character.
The concept and reference board is finished, I will start working on the 3D model now.

The full character is modeled from scratch (except for textures and sculpting alphas)
Software: Blender 2.81, Substance Painter, Zbrush

Good luck everyone!

Hey there. Welcome to the contest.

Looking good so far. If you happen to have your concept and reference board available, please do post it.
Other contest participants have been doing that, and it's been fun to see how the project began. 
If you don't, that's fine too - it's not a required part of the contest. 

Thanks for participating!    

Dear Jakob,

 Apology - I read/answer forum posts in sequence - thus had not seen this before.

 Very interesting (and no pumpkins).

 Suggest spending five minutes looking at some other contestant submissions here/below,
for reason of project explanations and interaction in competition/forum.

 As mentioned - your work is unique, some 'quirky' (in a good way), with several exceptional creations.

 Watching with interest,

 Regards,

 Rick.

Dear Jakob,

 Very good, and your words of encouragement to others.

 Her outfit is excellent ... suggest you work in the bear claws (for authenticity).

 Pleased to have you here. Very interested in watching you work.

 Cheers,

 Rick.

Dear Jakob,

 Good and very clever (well thought through).

 The majority of models/renders fail close inspection of the hair - due to the limitations of the original geometry.

 Keep up the good work ... and if strolling around Paulin's forests - watch out for late season pumpkin* rollers (or take a shotgun),

 Cheers,

 Rick.
[*: I missed the 2020 festival - Cv19 lock-downs. Maybe next year, because I want to try-out the pumpkin kayaks - looks like great fun.]

Awesome! 
Thanks for posting your references. Looks pretty cool.    

Dear Jakob,

Excellent and very authentic.

May be a great shock to discover - might be some people who do not believe in pumpkin dinosaurs or kayaks ...


...so maybe is just imagination. {smile}.

Keep up the good work, enjoy life and have fun,
Cheers,

Rick.

Lookin' great! Thanks for the update.    

Looking good Jakob ... Be mindful - methodological approach and persistence ... always defeat speed in races.
 
You are doing well following existing work regime and discipline. "haste = waste"  (or if eating ... haste = waist).

Cheers,

Rick.

Hi Jakob,
 Looking good.

 Was thinking the material pattern/swab used to make the necklet ... might look good as a trim on the coat (cuffs/central button-zip seam), and sides or top of the boots. Much of her gear is reminiscent of the tradition costumes of both indigenous deer herders (Baltic), and Yak herders (Mongolia). The common trim from collar (inner garments) - to coat cuffs, and boot seam - are present if you do image search for traditional dress of these two ancient cultures (still alive today).

Cheers,

Rick.

Dear Jakod,
 Happy to help. One of your methodological strengths and community good points - is that you are watching/studying the others contestants as they develop their character, plus offering constructive comment or suggestion (very good).

 As such you will see several contestants ask for advice or suggestions ... like asking consultant. Foxy, I and others - who are not judges - are happy to provide/fulfil such requests.

 This is the nature of several sections/forum areas at RenderHub (helping, teaching and encouraging artists), and an important functional reason for the site to exist.

  Some may wonder why more of RenderHub's best teachers are not helping/commenting.

 Simple answer - They are the judges, so not appropriate to comment/advise where the same might be construed or interpreted as giving favour.

 Watching - Yes. Helping (cannot - to preserve integrity and fairness of contest).

 Cheers,

 Rick.
