Reply To: [ENDED] BC2-1803 – March 2018 Class Homepage – Creating Stylized Characters with Blender

Homework submission week 2

Wow guys it’s so fun to sculpt characters, i think i got a little carried away and picked a concept art that’s waaaaaay above my skills to replicate well in 3D, nevertheless i tried and this being my first full character sculpt, i am super happy with the result because i really had a hard time sculpting this speacially without symmetry.
The sculpture isn’t a 100% match of the concept art in terms of proportions, for example in the fingers if i had followed the artwork she would end up with huge dementor fingers. Also the places which i had more of a hard time sculpting were the shoes/feet (sorry Kent) and legs. Learnt a lot doing this!
Here’s the reference image: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/3GXyo  .Kent you voted to do my character option B, i liked it but i am just a big fan of anime and was a more excited to do this one.

Here’s the story of my character (i tried to make it as anime-ish as i could imagine): 

Mia Lovelace, The little Witch or Pumpkin as the people of her village like to call her, she is a genius of a witch, despite her age she is capable of using magic as naturally as a veteran wizard. Although she’s really good at magic, none of her spells are close to being deadly. She can only cast summoning spells, and all of her summons either are scary pumpkins or the thing the her enemies are most scared of. Her mother says her magic is a reflection of her creepy personality and a way to counter her small size.
Despite her creepy looks, Mia is actually a nice person with good ambitions. Since she’s able to summon pumpkins, even though scary they are still pumpkins, therefore she feeds free pumpkins to those in need of her village until she’s out of mana, besides, the more reputation she has, the more likely she’ll get invited to the Grand Mage’s Race, a race where all invited mages go and the winner will be awarded a place in the group of it’s creators and so achieve her dream to be one of the greatest mages in history, or in this case, witch.

Now for the scultpure, i spent so many hours on the face and body that i pretty much had to do everything today all day.
This is what I did front thursday until yesterday:

And this is the progress today. It’s pretty much final, unfortunatly i don’t have time to refine it (the extract mask i did for the big scocks gave a lot of volume to the legs, for example I need to fix that):
