Title: Castlevania-style naked girl statue
Post by: Sunjammer on February 14, 2015, 02:50:54 am
first time trying something like this out. i think the forms are maybe adequately described but there are probably tons of problems i can't see. with koji igarashi's 2d games gone the world needs more cv statuary and i need to address that

her legs look a bit weird like u need to bring that front knee up a bit and let thr front foot hang looser so it looks like its just the ball of the foot / toes touching.
I think u could use a bit more of the lighter shade on face and arms instead of just the hair.
hair seems to lack interesting form, appears helmet-like.
if u move hair out of the way a bit u can free up some pixels to allow some suggestion of a face there too.

dude that was incredibly illuminating, thanks so much

i revised mine, was trying not to rip off your version too much so i changed parts of the pose but it's pretty similar

i made a new one with the insight i got out of it though, i think it's a big improvement over my first one but maybe shaky in pose and probably value as well
