Stylish Babe - Version 2

Hi all…

Here’s just some updates on this one character I’ve been working on and off during last month or so… It’s that same one I did some rigging tests with, it has just changed a bit now… I’ve been wasting time on skin shading and mesh details. I also made a tool for this one to debug mesh, finaly got fed up hunting those degenerate polys manually…

Scifi Babe

Hi all again!

Here’s something I did last weekend. I wanted to toy with a character concept idea I made some days earlier - I wanted to make a bit stylized, somewhat slender/slim character. Anyway, this character is built with polys, zbrush for bumps and details. Skin textures were created in photoshop. Mesh is rigged so that it can be posed. It took some time to build clothes as body is not removed under the clothes.

Color correction in photoshop, no other post processing…

Hi - It’s Sami here again!

Did some updates to this anime girl figure model - Added bump map and made textures for whole body and adjusted some details. I also tried to make materials bit more realistic so that body would look like matte painted vinyl and clothing would look more like the glossy vinyl you see on figures. That’s all for now!

Surfing Babe

Hi all again!

Here’s one image I made some time ago, thought to put it out to web now… Anyway, it’s same stuff as usual - Just bit different surroundings - This time it’s a surfer babe on a sunny beach. I didn’t exactly aim for photorealism but wanted to have bit surreal / stylized feel to it. Retro style coloring was also one idea I had.

Took quite a while to setup as it’s pretty polygon heavy! Anyway - I like the way the palm trees turned out and sand too. I did some experiments but ended up using just plain old standard noise and some color variation here and there. I’ll post a super hires version sometime later in the future.

As a final word I really don’t know how this image caused so much trouble when I tried to nail the composition - It’s basicly very simple 3 field composition but it took while to make it work…

Anime Girl Figure

Hi - It’s Sami here again!

I Got the idea for this one after I bought a few figures.
Design is not mine, it’s from a hentai manga (I think she is from bible black or something like that) and I used japanese garage kit images as ref.

I first started modeling her in Silo and after skinning & posing, I had to do some changes (bad proportions and missing details)
Maybe i will tweak some details when I have rested my eyes for some days.
