Been a lot going on the last couple of weeks but I've finally come back to this. I've started on the base. Needs a lot of work still. I mostly focused on the arms today since they're going to be visible and the torso and legs are going to be covered by clothing so I just wanted the basic shape for those. Really probably should have gotten the hands done because it's going to be awkward to add them now but I guess that's a problem for tomorrow!
I also made some really basic shapes for the clothing to see how they'd look and wow I think I'm going to have a lot of work to make the 2d design work in 3d, especially the hair. I can picture it in my head but getting it onto the model is hard. Hopefully I can work it into something I'm happy with. Probably going to come back to the hair once I've added some proper facial features I think.
