[Fighter] Soul Caliber, Ivy

[3DLam]

So yes another Ivy. Everyone seems to be going future, so I'm going past. Looking at Van Dyck and Tissot paintings of women. Going to do a sexy regal lady who can whoop your ass. Should be an interesting study for cloth with hard surface. Might see where this leads regarding texturing style.

I'm no concept artist but here goes:

On a funny note, looking through paintings and found this....

Those two dudes are so checking out her rump. They are burning a hole in her dress. Funny how somethings change, but some things stay the same.

This is pretty awesome. Is her skirt going to be transparent?

[3DLam]

LRoy: Nope.. just my crappy lack of cleanup :D

Admins.. could you tag my user name on the title of this thread please? I forgot. :(
I want everyone to know the name of the man who is gonna kick this thing right in the ass!

Hey David/3Dlam ha. This is an awesome idea! Im really looking forward to the clothing sculpt and the textures on her dress.
And concept looks awesome!

[Mask_Salesman]

Ooo nice, I remember she had a similar alt outfit in one of the games but they never quite got it right, Looks like your on the path to success tho.

gud luck.

[Jigsaw]

Looks neat! I like the exposed leg.

[3DLam]

Thanks guys for the comments so far...
Here's a quick paintover. I play with the proportions of the accessories. I think I've got the body proportions locked down now. Been looking at the crazy long proportions of Bayonetta.

Lookin awesome so far i cant wait to see more stuff. I also neen to do a paintover ha see you in class

[JeremyK]

Great stuff, Dave! If you wanna go for more Bayonetta look, she needs longer and slender legs. It's nice direction though. Can't wait to see more.

[dudealan2001]

You know what would be Sick. When you get done and everything you pose her and make her as the subject matter of a ye old portaid.

Finaling a game right now, not much time.

Akacg: Thanks for the look at the ref. The clothing is done really well. Just not sure about that pose. Looks like she's trying to rip one by the fireplace. ;D

[Chandler]

Nice hair! That thing must be a nightmare to style. :P I really like the eyes too, expressive and nice choice of color.

[Vidar]

Beautiful face, well done! :)

[crazyfool]

Face is gorgeous mate :) really pretty and now in my ref folder :D

[Stinger88]

Really nice. If you're going for Bayonetta proportions. I'd be careful of her shrunken head. She is very very odd imo and it doesn't work for me.

[Marcellus]

Thats a very nice looking face.
