I thought i would do my take on a female android, i haven't bothered a concept sketch because i wanted to concept it at block out and i kinder sorta know what i want.
I have many references of a female from 3Dsk but because of copyright issues i will turn them off for renders and captures ect..just know there are ref planes on hidden layers.

not sure i am keeping the hair yet, i had this idea for metal hair i'm now going to try a few options and see which i like.
just going to quickly UV the front face and throw on a basic texture to get and idea if the split face concept works.

Looking good so far. I think the eyelids and the underside of the nose could use some attention though.

Thanks Next ..you're right of course.Its always a dilemma as to how accurate and realistic a face should be on an artificial being, do i make her photo real as a human but with a split face ? or do i make her slightly flawed because she is artificial and its imaginary hard to create a realistic human? I am not sure , but in the finished result i want her to real enough to be slightly creepy.
The nose in particular is proving to be a little tricky since there is no extra geo surrounding it and a nose never looks right out of context as it were ..lol
I do agree it they both need some work though.

I like the nose setup shown here: https://i42.tinypic.com/25swsgx.jpg Nice and low poly, but you can get a lot of control out of it.

looking great, love the concept.
i agree wih Next for me the nose lets it down, it makes it look a little too fake for me. and i think the mouth area could use a little more shape.

looking forward to seeing more of this

the more I Think I know about Maya the less I seem to know about it.

It looks too bulbously to me. Most female androids have cute button noses. (Even the killer ones; go figure)

Oh not sure what you mean cgisoul about valley feel,at the risk of minor offence do all valley girls have bolbous noses or something?
