Modeling/Art non-related to Amnesia / SOMA

[Acies]

Just out of curiosity, what are the consequences to my bad posing?

Well, of course you could always still pose her "properly" after she is rigged and skinned, so it's no deal breaker but all in all it's just easier to see if the anatomy is correct if the character is standing in a balanced and somewhat natural pose. That's also why I personally prefer a relaxed V-pose like she has to the stiffer T-pose some people use - apart from the fact that it often makes setting up the IK and skinning easier later on

A-class work.. hahaha. The reason why I'm rude and avoiding certain fixes is because I sort of want to complete it now. Noticed I started work in the middle/end of October - so possibly just putting this one behind me might be nice! I still read & appreciate every input I get, as I'll start the next character with more experience thanks to people sharing their opinions :]

You know, just saying, there's no shame in putting a non-finished piece aside and starting again from scratch, especially when you're not on a deadline. Modeling just takes a ton of practice, especially the hard stuff like anatomy - I have a shitload of practice models lying around that I never finished because I realized halfway through that I took the wrong approach or that the general idea just wasn't as good as I initially thought.
As long as you learned something while creating it, it wasn't a waste of time, even if you throw it away. I mean when you're practising drawing, you don't shade and colorize every little sketch you make to perfection either, right? Same goes for 3D art.

So if you're so sick of this model by now, why not start anew and try another approach (like making a basemesh with front/side references) instead of torturing yourself with this one? Just an idea of course - if you don't like leaving stuff unfinished disregard what I said.

Yeah, I've been contemplating just putting it aside and starting a new one. But I figure going through all of the steps once might help me a lot; basemesh, high poly (anatomy + clothes), retopo, bake just to get some perspective on the entire process and how errors in "the previous step" might hurt the next stage. It would also give me some much needed experience in each stage of character developement.. Then there's also the pleasure of creating something, even if it's imperfect! :]

Contrary to what it sounded like I actually enjoy working on it hehe. Thanks for the input on the T-pose!
