Demo Reel Characters--> Black Mage

[Moondog]

Hey all..i havnt' posted much on this forum, but i decided to do some now...i've just started work on aan animation i'm doing for my demo reel. I spent a week creating the story, storyboard, and sketches of all the characters and scenery. Now i've started to model everything. Heres the start of the Black Mage character. heh, don't mind the seem, not ready to stich her up yet. Still needs hand, and uh, hair..any ideas how to do hair, good?? heh.

anyway, crits wanted! I want this to turn out good, and i need all the feedback i can get. Oh, i have about 10 hours of work in this model...4 meshes, so far. gonna have 6 after i add her hands.

nice......

Looking good. But is she supposed to be evil or not, 'cause I think "Black Mage" implies that. Ifso, she looks too cute.

Dude... vivi from ff9 was a black mage, and he is the nicest dude around.. Black mage just means they can use the elements of earth and what not, fire, water, lihgting, earth ect.


Ha ha... sigh :(

In that case ignore my comment :)

But I've got an other one. Won't rigging/skinning be difficult with the legs close to each other?

Still I think it looks cool!

[Moondog]

did you use a reference image for modeling the body and head, if so can u post a image of it. my only crit is the bottom half of the model lacks detail. nice job so far, keep working.

[Moondog]

ya, i drew up my own reference pictures..unfortunitly my scanner broke, so i hade to trace them with my wacom tablet. So, the sketches are kinda horrible lookin..when i get my scanner workin again, i'll post the pics

anyway, heres an update on the skin so far. OH, also, i jsut started modeling her accessories..dont worry, she's all decked out.
