update

Hey THX thanks a lot, I'm really lookin forward to this contest actually. Ok guys heres an update. I was looking at Blaze's character and decided that this chic needs a haircut. I decided to stay with her theme of red but also decided that her skimpy outfit has to go. So I researched lace tops from Victoria's Secret website. Found some good lookin clothing and decided to go from there. The shirt is going to be I think a silky red shirt with golden designs.. (Im thinkin the desings should be gold but then Im not sure, ill figure that out with when I do textures. Then I decided to go with some sexy highwater jeans. (i think thats what they are) Dark navy blue color. They are straight leg, hip hugging, boot cut at the bottom jeans.. simple, street, sexy.. I like it. And then her boots are like dress boots with the heels.. I got my drawings all laid out.. expect a post of the pictures Sunday afternoon becuase im going to buy a new scanner to scan these in. Im a day behind because of work.. dont you hate that? I wonder if I'm allowed to use Maya hair and fur? Does anyone know about that?

ok here we go

Ok sweet cuz I'm thinkin about using maya hair for her well... hair. Thanks for the update! Ok, got my new scanner and scanned these first thing. As I said, I was goin for more of a street look thats not skimpy or slutty or way too asian as some of the box arts for this game. I need to make a few adjustments to the head and face but a lot of those kinks I can actually work out while modeling in maya.

this is a start

Ok, Im starting off with just the head now. I plan on working on everything separate. For example, hair will be seperate and earrings will be separate. Not too sure but was considering modeling ears and lips seperate but thinking thats a bad idea. UnlessI modeling them separate, UV them, THEN attach them which will still keep the UV's in place. The mole on her face and the eyes WILL be seperate though. Any suggestions? Modeling suggestions? Im open ears user added image

hey ei8ht: looking good so far. I think you should model the lips and all that as one...it will make the textures blend easier i think, but its up to u. The earings separate.

The model is looking good so far...just dont add any more poly's until you are almost 100 percent sure you have the overall shape you want (save pushing pulling later on).

Nice work and good luck!

cool man thanks for the input. This is just a work in progress so far, but yes I completely agree with you, I shouldn't add any more polys until I have my overall shape laid out. Thats a really good point about modeling the lips and the UV's, I never even thought of that. Thanks man. user added image

Good start to the head. If you're planning on doing it realistic (not cartoony) then just be aware of the head dimensions (forehead, eye placement etc) as the eyes are looking a little high up at the moment. Saying that its very early so I might be jumping the gun user added image

Good luck
