Starting to clean up forms. Here's the progress with Abby's hair.

Got more of the clothing cleaned up more and shaped. Soon I can retopo this! Yay progress. How are you all doing?

brohmyr 2018-01-01 18:59:44 UTC #35

Progress! I have all my forms blocked out and shaped up now. Time to go do some retopology.

I took some time this evening to work on the little fae sprites that will be with Abby. Here's the little guy at various stages. At the end, substance and Marmoset viewers. Tomorrow I start retopologizing Abby!

Lovely little guy, you´ve made a lot of progress! I would still take a stop at the girl's face.... something is not working. I would probably say the eyes are too close to one another and the nose maybe needs more work. As I don't have your skill in the noble art of drawing, I can recommend you this as a reference https://www.artstation.com/artwork/wPkEX
Keep the good work !!

Thanks @javi_oses for the feedback. I took some time to do a draw over and made some changes to fit it. What do you think of this change? I'm liking it a lot more :D.

javi_oses 2018-01-05 10:05:40 UTC #39

A lot better!! And if you made the lower jaw less wide you got it in the right direction dude! Close a little bit the eyes and the corner of the mouth straight. You doing good work here @brohmyr keep it up!

Been slowly working on some retopology for Abby here. Here are a few clips lately. It took me a while to he happy with the edgeflow from her skin tight clothing to her skin without going too high in geometry. I was debating whether to have the clothing 100% separate or combine like this. Now to retopo the rest and UV unwrap next :D. I should be able to get this done this weekend.

Great stuff posted by so many people. I have to go and check out a few of the other entries. But from what I have seen, great stuff everyone. Keep up the awesome stuff!

I wasn't 100% happy on how the retopology was looking and combining the clothing with the basemesh just yet. Figured keep it separate to get some geometry detailing in with some of the parts and use this pass to clean up the shapes before bringing back into ZBrush. If she is under 100k polys, then I'll probably leave this as final geometry when I get her all done. We shall see depending on how much time I have. Hope you all enjoy and good luck with yours!

I finished this round of retopology to make the shapes nice and solid. Going to go back into ZBrush to add some smaller, subtle details. I am happy that this is under 80k tris so the sculpting should be nice and clean.

brohmyr 2018-01-16 03:37:52 UTC #43

Doing some high end sculpts now and adding in a little more realism to what I've been doing up till now. Still some tweaks in the nose for the face. Progress!

brohmyr 2018-01-19 14:08:15 UTC #44

Getting the trim sculpted in. Added a pass into the hands. I still have to tighten up the hands more. Going to work on the hair later today. Critiques and comments welcome!

brohmyr 2018-01-23 06:26:10 UTC #45

I haven't been 100% happy with Abby's design and details, so I decided to go back to the drawing board to rework her some. Keeping the basemesh but changing up the clothing. I'm liking this design a lot more. Thoughts?

brohmyr 2018-01-24 05:53:31 UTC #46

Here is a drawing design of the new Abby. Going to get back to sculpting while working on a model sheet.

brohmyr 2018-01-26 06:09:15 UTC #47

Here's an update on the sculpt, building up the basic shapes to the new design. Still have the sleeves and gloves to work on and some of the bigger bits too. Shooting to get a lot done this sunday.

brohmyr 2018-01-31 05:41:58 UTC #48

Got the initial block in done for Abby's staff in Maya. On to UV unwrapping and reinforcing edges before getting my sculpt on in ZBrush.

Any name ideas for Abby Stardust's staff that helps focus her powers of fae light?

sarawildeart 2018-03-02 03:00:20 UTC #49

Are you still finishing this up? I'd love to see it textured!

brohmyr 2018-03-08 15:33:46 UTC #50

I do plan to 100%. I was caught up with work and some commissions that dropped on my plate so I couldn't finish for the deadline of the competition. Still in my projects "to do" list. Going to rig her up fully so she can also be animated. Looking like summer time project.
Thanks for posting and asking @sarawildeart

I'll keep this thread posted on that process.

sarawildeart 2018-03-08 16:11:11 UTC #51

Ah that's a bummer, but would definitely like to see the final!

brohmyr 2018-03-09 05:51:51 UTC #52

It will happen. Maybe sooner . Looking forward to getting back to it. I also didn't want to rush it so it will turn out better.
