Today I am officially starting the challenge. When I looked at the general moodboard, from some weeks ago, I saw in my mind what I wanted to do: A japanese school girl with her motorbike. What I see in my mind feels like a cute and funny (or serious) girl that is fighting for Japan : ) She will definitely end up a printable figurine : ) Let's Go! Ikeeeeee

When I am doing a figurine I like spending time figuring out what the final pose will be like, before I deep-dive into it. Understanding what I really want, a clear vision, will help me a lot.
For this I will use everything that delivers fast results. For example, the motorbike and the katana are free .obj's found on the internet and they only serve as placeholders.
I will try some more poses, some more ideas, and maybe add a support character .... this looks cool but I am not yet convinced 
What do YOU think?
I think I am going for something futuristic...
I am thinking something like this... her outfit is just a placeholder.
Looking decent, but I want to see more epic pose) She can be more striking and in action.
Also she can ride the bike on the back wheel, like horse... or make bake more leaning on the side, like drifting under a truck. Nice progress by the way)
Thank you! I am going to give it my best!
She is just a placeholder, but the bike is getting there, still lots of variations possible. I think itĀ“s going to be a japanese sci fi futuristic samurai/ninja ghetto girl.
This is turning out awesome! I think itās my favorite so far!
lovin how the face is comin along on this!
