Alright, time to keep these updates frequent, had a lot going on over the past month. Added more to the side sash, widened the hips, shortened the torso, edited the legs, still got the feet to go as far as touch up. Next is the headband, gonna be probably the most intricate part of her jewelry; gonna be fun :triumph: Time to catch up!

I'm going to do a lot of large shape patterns on parts of the Transparent clothing to link the Line of Actions and direct the eye around (same thing with the tattoo's I'm probably gonna add). As always feel free to C&C :smiley:

nice!
i think the feathers don't fit.. maybe something different ?

looking really awesome!!
i do agree with @dandoombuggy still, the body shape at the torso area reminds me of a male super hero, a V tapered shape rather than the "typical" hour glass figure of a belly dancer

hope you dont mind but drew over a little to explain what i mean


maybe i pushed it tooooooo wide but... yea.... >.> haha

hope this helps!

haha, alittle too wide in my opinion too @Ooyoo, but I think you're right, gonna continue to push it in relation to the width of the waist. Thanks a lot for the paintover! :smile:

@Maxloegler Thanks man! I think I can make the feathers work :sweat_smile: (was thinking about the use of them on the headband i'll be adding). I could definitely replace them with the large shape patterns I'll be using on the transparent cloth though; Gianluca Rolli's "Moon & Sun" piece, really his work in general, is a pretty big inspiration for the look/mood of the transparent cloth pattern designs.

This is getting better and better. Keep it up.

@sarawildeart Thanks :smile:
@fantasymaster That's a mighty compliment, will do!

Pushed the hips and update on the headband, still got a few forms I'd like to incorporate on that one. Also re-did the paint over after Using the Transpose mesh feature haha, took the time to try a bit of a different color scheme, more iterations on that later.

I'd say, push the hips even more! She still looks more like before. I really like @Ooyoo's paintover suggestion!

i agree with the hips, but just want to say this is coming along very nicely dude, digging the style and loving the little accessories you've modeled, they look awesome dude.

She is beautiful and I Love the accessories you've done. Now take this with a grain off salt coming from me. But i feel her neck is just a little on the thick side. Narrowing it just a little will help push that femininity.

@enalya xD alright I got it haha, I think they're wide enough now? They do come out to her shoulders.
@Alien_hand Thanks man, I appreciate the support :smile:
@Benzychan Thanks alot dude, and no worries, you were right in the end haha, smoothed out the neck and leaned it in just a bit, makes her head stand out a bit now, so may adjust that slightly too.

Wanted to post this WIP after I got the Hair sculpt done as well, but I got distracted with another art piece over the weekend so got alittle behind, will get that done tomorrow and maybe experiment in keyshot to get a nice beauty of the high-rez to update the top of the thread? :smiley: Anywho here's where I'm at for now! Got some additional tweaks to go on the foot and in-lays for the gems/jewelry. As always feel free to leave your C&C!

Man ! She's turned so pretty !! Can i suggest to shorten a bit the abdomen length? See the paintover, do as you feel. Could make her more cute and help draw pretty hips curves ! Once again, just a question of tastes :smile:


This said, nothing to add. She's gorgeous ! Great and very consistent style.

@grigouips Thank you! Felt the creeping sensation of the uncanny valley haha, started to pour over skeleton reference to compare but seeing the paintover confirms the issue. May retain the pinch that the waist creates, but either way I'll make the edit when I'm back from work :smile:

9 days later

Looking really nice dude. I cant offer any more feedback than what has already been said. But really really nice work man she looks great she's got this sweet innocent look about her. Great jop capturing personality in your characterms :smile:

Alright guys, time to break the silence with 2 days left to go (deadline is end of the 28th, after all). retopo and map-bake are done, didn't want to post till I had significant progress. Apologies it took so long, I wasted a lot of time last week and I regret having done it, especially having earlier this month known I had fallen behind, shameful to say the least :disappointed: .

As such it's time to bring the all-nighter in tomorrow to get her textures, pose, lighting and her magic added in. Wish me luck and good luck to all of you who're almost finished! I'm not giving up now :triumph:

Great progress! Keep going, you can do this!

Go go go! you can do it :smiley:

Go man ! Want to see her finished !!
