akt_m Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hey MW folks, just wanna know your opinion about if she resembles Minmay or not, if not what do you think i should do to make her look like Minmay. Thank you for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrono Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 Reminds me more of a FF8 character then a Macross character, with the attempt at being too realistic that it loses the characters essense. So I would add a slight bit of chibi-ish in the way of larger eyes, a more rounded face, a less defined nose, and a general less 'real' body putting more pressure on body flow then realism. H.M. has a organic & fluid approach to his character designs, but frames his characters around the upper body and eyes especially. So keep the eye detail and increase the anime/manga look of it. One of the things that strikes me as 'wrong' is the length of the knee to heel as being overly long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akt_m Posted November 7, 2006 Author Share Posted November 7, 2006 So you figured out that she looks like a Final Fantasy character, that's probably because i builded this model around a Tifa/FF7 model i'm doing. In fact i really wanted to do a more realistic Minmay but i may try later to follow up with a more anime face as you recommended. And i think i messed with the body, don't know what i did that changed the proportions. Here is the reference model i made, i think it has nice proportion, please correct me if i'm wrong. Thank you for your advices!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapetang Posted November 7, 2006 Share Posted November 7, 2006 (edited) Hi akt_m, Great work! I agree w/ Chrono that she looks more "real" than anime. Some humble suggestions: head: - make her head rounder - round off the jawline so it's less angular - reduce/flatten her nose size (she's Chinese, not anglo) - make her peepers bigger & lower the position so she appears younger - give her hair more volume [attachmentid=37828] torso: - reduce her torso length to 2.75 to 3 heads (it appears too long to me) - reduce her waist down to 1 head width (sexy!) - perhaps reduce her rib cage size slightly (1.5 or 1.25 heads wide?) if so, thin out the arms to match legs: - shorten her thigh to 2 heads long - shorten her lower legs to 2 heads long - add more curves, especially to the calves [attachmentid=37829] Just some humble suggestions. I wish I could do what you're doing. She's looking great & I'm looking forward to seeing more! ps - Even for a more realistic interpretation, I would suggest everything except for making the eyes bigger.
