Well putting the nature mech to the side for now. I sort of wanted to do a gothy girl, since it is way out of my normal style. Very inspired by Underworld. This is just one hair style I was thinking of. I might go with a longer hair version, Ill see tho. Been combing the net for good goth girl pics. She is a vampire. ill think of some story later. 8-)

I think the she looks a bit to masculine I would suggest making her nose smaller. And softening her chick bones. Also the ears need to be rotated out more. almost 45 degrees or so. Thwe'a few other things but that may be just me being picky.

Fantastic detail on that hair. Your models all flow really well, shows how much it pays off to keep it clean.

Its good to see that you find the time to do your own stuff ;) id like to see the long hair version too.

a few good suggestions from stonepilot too, but its looking nice so far.

now this is a totally pointless reply...
but I thought that your mesh was a dead ringer for posh spice, aka Victoria Beckham.
Keep up the good work.

[poopinmymouth]

Now I'm no hairstylist, but It looks like some 5 year old kid took a pair of scissors to the right hand side of her head and gave it a few snips. I would keep the hair that length, but have it coming to sharp points like on her fringe.

Overall its a very good likeness of her. Good job.
later...

pimm are you planning to use an alpha on the hair?

[poopinmymouth]

yeah alpha maps are gonna be used on the hair, thats why there is inconsistency in the length

[Payback]

What does an alpha map do?

[poopinmymouth]

an alpha map (or opacity map as it is sometimes referred to) is a black and white image that controls the visibility of the polygons. A pur white pixel equals 100% visibility, a pure black pixel equals 100% transparency, and a middle grey equals semi transparent. An alpha map sometimes refers to a black and white image that is in the alpha channel of a regular image, such as a targa or tiff. In that case it can be controlling specularity, or transparency or self illumination (anything that is controlled by greyscale). I am using an alpha map in this case to make the hair end in fringe, instead of the flat edge of the polygon currently there

this is just to hep me get my proportions right, so its not too well rendered. It also hints at the amount (or lack thereof) of clothing! hahah

[Grooveholmes]

hey poop, the size of the hips and pelvis in relation to eachother look more like a male's. You might want to check that.
Tha head is looking good though.

[poopinmymouth]

gonna take your suggestion into mind grooveholms, thanks

so um yeah, the first concept was a 5 min doodle. here is my official concept
http://www.poopinmymouth.com/net/pcount/concept2.jpg

slowly but surely. widened the hips a little to make it look like her lateral muscles are intact.

[poopinmymouth]

LOTS of proportion changes, and added the all important breasts.
