Started on a quick sculpt to block out shapes during my lunch break at work and this is how far I got. Just want to do a quick bust of this awesome concept design by Taran Fiddler. I'll probably spend another lunch break fixing some shapes and adding details before maybe a quick paint and render.

Playing around with hair options!

I want to have more than one hair style eventually, but I have to pick one to start. Leaning toward the first, and then maybe doing a quick Halle Berry option after she's been rigged.

I've had a little bit of time to complete the lowpoly mesh in Maya.

I'm deciding what kind of outfit and hair I want that would fit how I imagine her personality to be. I wanted to have her full body modeled and available so I can make different outfits eventually, or anyone that buys the rig can make their own if they want.

Back in 2016 I had the idea to create different couples of different ethnicity because the character rig market was severely lacking. I came up with Naomi and Nash as the first couple to make and started on her years ago, but then I moved across the US and started a new career in games so I never found the time to finish them. Well, now I have the time and I'm starting with revamping Naomi.

Here's a quick Before/After with some changes I made from the original model I had made back in 2016. Since then I've learned a lot more about anatomy and how to create more appealing shapes and proportions.

I'll update the progress here. Even just looking at that screen capture it looks like her arms may be a tad too long still :P

Naomi's male counterpart will be named Nash and I've only just started working on his design so there isn't enough to share yet. So stay tuned!
