Um, here is what I am working on at the moment. No texture or hair just yet. I have a couple other things i want to fix, but this is it for the most part.
thanks,
pete

I like it. My only suggestion at this point would be to trim the nose. It looks a bit too masculine.

Yah ....trim the nose a bit . A bit masculinity there.

Also... The area around the mouth ..looks a bit masculine. No idea why. Think its the extruding chin at the bottom. But anyway, like your model. The neck has a few funny spots.... and as well as the area above the ear in side pics.

Elven... I only count three

Looks good - but more gnomish than elven I feel due to the rounded nature of the head and particularly the nose. I always think of elves as being quite angular / defined, high cheek bones, narrow noses. Sort of like Rodney Mathew's illustrations for Elric.

Good work on the model though. Ampa.

Very nice work. I like they way the nose, ear tips and forehead shape all work to make a kind of 'cute' child-like elf. It's not the normal slender/angular elf, but it's cool.

I fixed the stupid nose, woohoo.
about the elven thing...
it isn't really supposed to be an elf. it sorta is. it is a design i am working on for my next project. we(zig, and myself) are working on a short that requires some people that relate to humans, but aren't. I like elf ears and whatnot, so i came up with this. Tho, alot of the character design is dependent on the clothing and a certain sort of hat, so it this just looks like a rounded elf. which is what the goal was.
I would also like to know what age you guys think she is.
thanks again,
pete

Well you can't really tell the age without the texture map.... so i'd say somewhere around 18-25?

zeebit · Posted: Fri Dec 01, 2000 6:40 pm

cool
that is what i was hoping.
now, what do you think i should do to make it around 11 or 12?
bigger eyes, larger forehead? anything else?

Great job zeebit!

I have a question, what method did you use to create this face? did you use the patching technique?

zeebit · Posted: Fri Dec 01, 2000 7:19 pm

it started out as a birailed nurb surface. then i patched the eye into it. then i turned it to polys and finished it. I kept the topology up tho, so i can convert it into a patched nurbs surface fairly easily.
but i hate having to worry about the tangency problems. so, yeah, that is it. it is smoothed polys/subdivs, whatever you want to call it. but the topology is very clean
blah

If you want her to look younger I would suggest less cheek definition...younger people have chubbier cheeks. Looks Great!

the forehead looks kind of large and rounded to me... I don't know. it's kind of strange, it doesn't "flow" very well... other than the nose, and mouth comments, I'd agree that it's looking good, and a great start.

thanks everyone.
I am glad you appreciate the roundness of the model marco, i was going for something like that.
Thanks for the technical info on elves, ampa, i will keep that in mind.
I made the eyes a bit bigger nightmare, all i needed was an excuse to do so. heh
Thanks for the critique sprout, are you in the field currently?

thanks again,
pete
