Sybil-animation WIP (Update #2)

Okay, this is my first big animation…
Here are some stills of the main character, Sybil. I’m gonna change the hair, add some details, do some texturing etc… Any suggestions on the color of the dress? (I don’t accept pink! :smiley: )

Pic of her just standing:

Suggestions, tips, C&C…

hey she looks kinda cute but u gotta put an eye ball cuz it looks freaki without an eyeball.

What’s the animation about? What’s the nature of this character? How does she act, what does she do? How long will the animation be?

Outside of those questions, it really is a good model, but I don’t want to make too many comments until you tell me a little bit more… otherwise my comments could be totally useless.

Sybil is about 8 years old. Her eyes are black, because of her race. She’s some sort of a magician, her eyes turn to the same color as the element she’s doing. Red for fire, blue for water etc.

In the animation, Sybil walks around in a castle-like place. She walks across a hall, sees some stairs leading to a closed door. Of course she climbs the stairs and opens the door. Then she’s standing on a balcony, very high. The view is beautiful. Then (don’t laugh), she takes off her necklace, which looks like a butterfly, holds it inside her hands and turns it into a real butterfly. Then the butterfly flies off.
Haha.

The animation would be about one or more minute long, dunno exactly.

purple.

Just because thats the way her eyes are supposed to look that doesn’t make it so they don’t look creepy :wink:

The idea for your animation sounds interesting…it reminds me of a skittles commercial or something. Good luck with the project, it sounds like it’ll be interesting when its done. The hair you made on the model is reasonably realistic, and so is the clothing so kudos on that. Keep up the hard work.

Very nice. Maybe you could decrease the hardness on the eyes a little…so that the eyeball is actually visible. For the dress…orange.

That cleared up a lot for me, Sily, thanks for that. Are you planning on doing anything more to the textures? She appears a bit flat… or at least, overly smooth. If that’s the look you’re after, then cool. Otherwise, you might wanna texturize her and her dress a bit.

A small update. Made some of the castle, today the ornament thingy around the “gargoyle”. And of course I had to put Sybil in the scene, too! :smiley:

The place has no textures and the lighting is… well, horrible.
Fweeb, I will texturize her. And the dress. At least try.

More to come.

Good character! Scene needs a bit of work, but the modelling’s great on Sybil! Only crit is that her face looks a bit flat.

Long time no updates. I’ve been busy with school, family stuff and such. I only have to offer Sybil’s new hair. You like the old hair better or the new hair?

I really tried to UV texture her face, but it’s way too complicated and I can’t get the colors right… I’ve decided to go for the “overly smooth” look. Or just try texturing again.
There’s also a bump map of some sort on her dress.

Oh, I just noticed she’s missing eyelashes!
