Thats cool, in my opinion you got a lot of detail out of the trunk of the body while keeping it pretty light, sweet.

just having a look in Zb at the texture for her face atm. once this is done I'll transfer it to the main skin texture and overlay it. Im not going for total black around the eyes, I'll probably settle for a deep red....

Modelling will continue tomorrow!!!

Looks great ATM, Jay. Really looking forward too seeing how this turns out. Nice to see how more experienced character modelers get it done!

Thanks Mayaniac,

I really want to keep her as a 'beauty' and not a beast as such. Harley Quinn is actually a good looking villain but just a psycho in terms of being like the Joker, Im actually going to take the lip texture back as I'd rather keep her feminine, but smear it a bit more as if she kisses her victims before putting their lights out.

Murambi: Thanks, Im using XP. Check out www.zbrushcentral.com they may have a help forum there with regard to Vista

Bit more 'dirty paint work' for the texture overlay in ps. Moving onto the model...

small update on the wrist and shoulder areas from the first post (not that you'll see them in the final really) just for my peace of mind

okay so the Court Jester Hat is basically being replaced by girly pigtails, Im going to cross the colors over black into red and vice versa and layer it up then add a normal map, heres the start of it.
