Anime character

Hi, I’ve had this model on hold for months, but only recently did I start work on him again. When I went back and looked, I thought there was room for a lot of improvement, so I restarted the body, but I thought I could still work with the head. His name is Yato from Noragami. I’m still very early in, but I thought I would share because why not. I’m not the best or anything, but I’m enjoying working on this. There’s a lot of work to be done on the ears, sculpting is far from finished, the body’s not even a 1/10th done, and there’s going to be loads of re topology after.

The proportions of the head are off. Perhaps the skull is too high. Anime faces generally follow normal human proportions (eyes in center, etc) with certain stylizations (big eyes, tiny nose, pointy chins…). I took a look at some of the images resulting from a search for the character, and he seems to have big hair, which may be misleading.

Thanks for the tips! I felt something was off, now I’ll make adjustments to the head. I’m gonna have to hold off on blender for the next week since it’s finals week though. I’ll post any updates I make. Also, sycra’s work is awesome!
