Title: sexy lady WIP
Post by: legofreak on June 13, 2006, 11:49:28 pm
I first started this about a year ago just as a portait and eventually gave her a body but then just recently I started working on her again to make her look sexier. I started out with some extra shading and then gave her a different pose. I got few pointers on the face so now it looks better.

I've been having trouble with her hand and her legs look a little too fat...

ATM, she looks cuter than she does hot. I think it's the eyes...Hot chicks have those thin, shadowy eyes, whereas cute chicks have those big, puppylike, childish eyes. Also, the lips could be plumper and shinier. I like the yellow hilights and it's a great improvement from the original.

Make eyes narrower or smaller. Yes, I agree. I like the way you shaded at the shoulders. Nice work. Keep updating her.

Bigger specular on the eyes (shine), add eye lashes, and give her some lips and a smile...

Ah, she is much sexier :). The pose is good, and the shading so far is pretty cool (I do like that yellow instead of just a lighter tan color). The thing that sticks out to me though is that her limbs seem a little short. it could be that I've been jaded by anime or something, but I think her outstretched arm and legs could be lengthened some more. Also, maybe her elbow on the bent arm is a bit too thick? I wouldn't mind doing an edit, though I'm not sure how helpful it would be ...

her left arm seems pretty bulky. I think it needs to be thinner with less emphasis on the deltoid.

Her ankles and wrists need to be thinned out, limbs lengthened slightly. Check those collarbones and the far arm by looking at yourself in a mirror, I think there's something weird with them both. That shadow under the spandex shirt is a bit weird. The hair could use some highlights for a silkier appearance.

The face is well done, but since it's rather anime looking it's a bit more "aww, kawaii!" than sultry to me. Also, I would keep in mind that more skin showing != more sex appeal. You can do very well if you leave a lot to the imagination or only just hint at something.

I hope you don't mind edits, 'cause I'm better at them than explaining. This one is mainly based on other people's crits anyway, so I take no credit for the changes:

She still looks a bit cuter than sexy. Maybe because her looks seems soft as compared to like, harder, amybe more... feline for lack of a better word. Sharper eyes, longer limbs, slimmer, sleeker, that kind of thing. "Sexy" to me is a little more, again for lack of a better word, intimidating maybe? Powerful? Heh, riiight...

Anyway, cool stuff. The improvement over the original is completely amazing, so keep it up. It's coming along very nicely.

I personally like the thicker look. I think you're doing an awesome job on the shading so far. Keep it up.

I think big eyes and cuteness can be sexy with the right expression. Maybe you should have her with a less wide-eyed look and something more like her eyes half shut in a sort of glare (but more sexy glare than immunnakillyou glare). XD I look sort of childish in facial appearance so I know the right look to be more sexy but still cute. :P
