Thanks for the comments! @grigouips I agree, I want her hips to be slightly narrow but I pushed it too far. @haZe haha thanks for the encouragement! She's not a literal child, the term being used only to denote her relation to the gods (aka stars). I'd place her anywhere from 18-22 years old. I planned on slightly increasing the size of her body overall (think she's around 6.8 heads tall, was gonna increase to 7.2-3) so might slim those areas you mentioned down and definitely gonna work on the forearms . Regardless I'm aiming to give her a slender and youthful body but I want her body to feel full, not empty or anorexic. Might not get a chance to work on it today so if not I'll be posting tomorrow. Thanks again!

@verycrunchytaco thanks man! I agree, i went with taking the hips out a bit and smoothing the shoulders

@FemCharles Thank you! I agree; after your comment I found a really good reference body in the "Go Robot" music video, good advice!

I did say I wanted to slim down the body, but I found that it wasn't the push in the right direction that i wanted, so I actually wound up thickening the knees, smoothing the shoulders and moving some proportions around (realized her arms/hands were too long before). I'm not quite done with the body (particularly the shins/calfs), still taking any suggestions, but I'm much closer to being done with her body than before; i'd be comfortable concepting over her currently.

I keep thinking I didn't do enough changes though because the silhouette didn't make any drastic changes xD .

@fantasymaster @zyp Thanks you two, @maxloegler ask and you shall recieve

Anywho morning people! Had a hard time with the designs on this, but I'm much closer to figuring out the direction I want to pull her. Definitely understanding more of which elements of each design I like and will wanna include in the final design (definitely leaning towards keeping bigger shapes for most of the ornamentation and clothing, using detail in key areas).

I don't know, feel free to let me know what you guys think of them so far! None of this is final so I'm open to suggestion.

@rafaeldioli @klautier Thank you!
@maxloegler I'm actually not that big a fan of E haha, didn't want to go full persian/southeast asian with the clothing, but definitely drew some inspiration from it.
@bloecher Right!? I agree, though I'm not sure what I'll mix in there, don't want to do alot of jewelry on it because it'll draw attention away from the headpiece
@grigouips I'm actually thinking along the same lines haha. I like the A-symmetry of D's bra, but the transparency with accents from E/F is a nice touch. I do want to have both legs pretty exposed though since she's more of a wild dancer, so I want the energy of the exposed legs, vs the civility of the long skirt. I'm thinking of using the transparent clothes to address the silhouette break-up that B's skirt achieves, but maybe more as a long side sash? still got some experimentation to do, you may wind up being right in the end

@sarawildeart Thank you! I definitely like the transparency going on with E's clothes, just not her lower body attire, the middle sash particularly; distracts the silhouette of her legs (which I do want). I like C's plume on the back of her head, but the straight bangs are kinda killing it for me, especially since I'm going to have a glowy type thing going on with the eyes and I want a semi even space around them before any contrast is there.

Gotta eat then getting back into it!

Alright guys, took the feedback and what I liked about the designs, and I've come up with this. Added the side skirt to get the silhouette break that B had, while adding the transparency from E through the side skirt, while keeping the hair from D.

I'm thinking I'm going to thicken the tattoo around her abdominal, since it feels alittle too wispy right now and unclear with how the shape reads (already getting small shape detail from the jewlery/ornaments). May be adding tattoo's around her ankles, and changing some of the shapes within the headband, but I'd be ok with sculpting now. Still taking feedback and suggestions, so feel free to comment!
