Progression 7

My character is in the final stages the lights and final texture are all that's left. I been throwing around the name Arque and Settiam, but someone told me the later sounds more royal than warrior, so I naming her Arque. I'm also looking at cutscenes from Mass Effect for lighting ideas and one of my original sources, X-Men Academy X, and a newer source, Claymore, for the HEROIC POSE. My biped for the character was pretty screwy, and that's putting it nicely, so I scrapped it and the new is in place and working. I started painting the unwrap a little before my last post, but I don't want to show you the whole texture its completed sometime tomorrow, but i'll show you what her face looks like before I go CrazyBump on her.
The white out area is her eyes. I still decided what color they should be. I want them to be an exotic color/s, leaning maybe light purple or a yellowish green.My next post will likely be my last for this project, but I'll likely start another blog for my personal projects.

Progression 6

Unwrapping is the biggest pain when capes are involved, and thanks its finally done. Now that all the uv's packed I need to add a biped for "strike a pose session" all characters need. I started modeling weapons for the character (now known as Arque). Since she is a warrior, I'm giving her all swords of varying size (5 to be precise).When I find a HEROIC POSE I like I'll post an image of it or them, but more then likely they will be something along these lines...

I have a few more, but I don't want to post them until I can source them.

Progression 5

Armor up. Here is my character in full armor with a her cut. For some reason I really like flowing/draping cloth on light armor. I even added a half cape (the coolest of all capes), courtesy of Villetta Nu of Code Geass. I will still be adding little tweaks here and there, but those will have to wait until I see her unwrapped and texture.

Progression 4

I just hit my half way mark for my main character model. She still doesn't have a name, but I'm leaning towards Arque. Right now, she still nude ;) and headless (those are in separate files). Thanks to a friend I got some really good tips and new reference materials. He also showed me two artist who are scary good, Paolo Eleuteri Serprier and Nico di Mattia. I'll post another image of her in full armor once I finish it.
