Ethnique / National / Lady of the 19 th century Europe

[stalsky]

Hello friends. I started this thread in support of the competition http://arttalk.ru/articles/content/e...-woman-contest

Here's a link to my topic http://arttalk.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4206

I'm posting several refs, a sketch and the modelling.

I'll be watching it over there via google translate. I really liked the biker gear
girl you made a while back. This one is going to be just as nice I'm sure.

She looks mad/mean so far. Personally I like the face in the first concept.

[hosch]

Cool concept - seems the face is a bit harsh in its features for the references - can't wait to see the finished project.

[midost]

The hair design is very cool, but I agree with Hosch that the face is rather harsh. Specifically the eyebrows seem bunched in the front, like she is scowling. Also, the sides of the mouth seem over defined. You'd be surprised at how soft those lines are when you don't have color defining the lips.

I think it's a great concept, though, and can't wait to see it finished. Good luck!

Friends, thanks for critics and support ) The previous head was just a basic form. I am posting the next iteration.

cool! she is coming along great!

[SpiritDreamer]

Beautiful work and great technique....

[Intervain]

is it supposed to be a reconstruction of the period clothing or just a stylized character, which kinda looks like a 19nth century woman? Just asking out of curiosity. I love the stylized concepts you have there and seeing your head you've gone for the hat from the first image [which is rather modern looking]. I like the hair a lot - great job on that.
I'd say work a bit more on the face [especially the lips - they look pursed and make her look mean - also watch those corners of the mouth]
This is a great idea though - love it and looking forward to the dress

This is some of my fav designs for women. I love the first top pic.

C&C goes I say she looks upset it has a lot to do with the eyebrows and mouth relax it some maybe. Might wanna go with a flirty look like she saying come her big boy.

Great concept looking forward to seeing the finished product of this.

[Rory_L]

Nice start. Should dimple the corners of her mouth, to set it in the face properly, though.

Cheers,

good progress, I'll echo the others here and mention that the lips are taking away from an otherwise fantastic face. The nose could perhaps also use a slimming pass to help it feel more delicate, but completely up to you. (of course)

Every time I see your reference pics, I want to take a stab at sculpting my own version I'm a huge fan of artwork similar to 1, 3, 5, and I'm looking forward to seeing your result!

[Moni-Poroni]

Great idea! I love the way you did the hair and the hat. Wonderful sculpting!
I`m looking forward to seeing the next steps.
Good luck with the challenge!

[SadamHu]

I agree with Intervain. Also are there hair clips in her hair? I ask that because
I see some compressed pieces of hair and its like the clips are missing in this screengrab.

[stalsky]

Hi friends, thank you for watching and critique)

Intervain, it will be stylized for 19 century, not so historically accurate.
SadamHu, yes I forgot to include clips %)

About face, still working on it ...
Here comes new up.
