hey wazzup people. gohan here. im here to speak to you about the trilogy I am undertaking to make in maya, photoshop, and Zbrush. yep, those are the programs I am utilizing to make the Starsiege Trilogy. I will be posting on this thread the zbrush WIPs that will be imported into maya for hopefully rigging and animating. lol, haven’t figured out how I am actually going to do that but I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. anyhow, here are the first concept sketches of the first character I am making for the first movie. her name is Francine and as you can see, she will be the love interest to who ever is the main character, but don’t let her looks fool you. lol, she is a fiesty one. her profile and WIPs will be coming soon as soon as I get them made. oh and one more thing, if you wish to know about the project, message me on zbrush, or you can search for the facebook page on facebook called Starsiege Trilogy. i am the administrator for the facebook page. well gtg. ill keep you posted. laterz. oh and before i go, this is a thread that I had to move for I didn’t think it was good to be in the community forum. i got mixed up with what the forums were. lol.
ok here is the first update. trying to work on this at the same time while im working on nightfall for the action hero contest. now before you all say anything, remember the concept sketches and see that she does have a well pretty large chest area. lol, shes supposed to because of her part in the story which her profile is still in the making. enjoy. profile will be coming soon in the possible next update.

I must say she looks very creepy. None of her body parts works or fit with eachotehr. I would sugest you to get some references.
It doesn’t matter if you go for realistic or stylized character. It must look convicing.
hey there. i think you raised the bar to high… maybe you should start a little bit more unassuming. like nebular said, use reference. and maybe you should train your drawing/anatomy skills, before announce a trilogy…
nebular- thank you for pointing that out. im trying my best to try and model figures atm. im actually doing this with a mouse so i have a huge handicap. im hoping to get a tablet as soon as possible. you are right about references. i should get some to look at for body anatomy. thank you for that nebular.
wethand- im trying to do a trilogy for one reason: the community for the game series has gone sour and I’m trying to revive it somehow and I thought doing a trilogy would be good. if you want to see some of my works in progress in maya, go check out my facebook page i made for it. they aren’t bad at all. im more skilled in maya then i am in zbrush. go figure. i will, however, start looking at references to get better anatomy and hopefully get a tablet so i dont have to use a mouse for zbrush. ill use a mouse only for maya.
ok. so this is how its going to be. i am going to start this over by redoing the sketches. i didn’t like the sketches only because lol i drew them with too big of a chest. its abnormal. im also doing the models over and then hopefully have profiles for each character being made. my anatomy know how has become better since i started and i think this time around they wont be as bad so you all wont be appalled i hope. lol. well I’ll keep you posted. peace.
Ok people. Here is the first profile and good sketches for the first character I will make in Zbrush. Her name, as stated before, is Francine. Her profile will be after this paragraph and before her portraits. I’ll keep you all posted on the updates, now that I have a better idea of anatomy. I shouldn’t have bad posts now. ttyl. peace.

Motivation: Joins the Imperial Knights Army to stop what happened to her parents during the first appearance of the Cybrids.
Biography: It was during the time when Earth’s prosperity was evolving when Francine was born. Years past since the Devastation, Earth was prospering and being rebuilt into a much better social society and military power. Francine was born into a family that was well known to most as the best pilots in the Imperial Knights Army. Francine always thought of herself becoming just like her parents, when she was young and believed she would join the Knights in the future. Well that didn’t take long for her to make up her mind when the Cybrids’ first appearance came. Years before the first Earthsiege, Prometheus was built as the first Evolving AI for the benefit of humanity. Unfortunately, they lost control of him and banished him and his followers from Earth. However, before they left, they did take some lives of humans in some battles before they were banished. Francine’s parents were some of the humans that their lives were taken. Francine was about 28 when it happened and vouched that she would avenge her parents’ deaths and that she would see the Cybrids destroyed, for good. Just before the first Earthsiege, Francine joined the Imperial Knights Army where she would meet for the first time Harabec Weathers who she would find out to be someone she would love in the future. She was transferred to his squad by Caanon Weathers and was one of Harabec’s best pilots in his squad. Francine is a young and beautiful woman. Refined and kind, yet having that seductive and sensual side that she would show only to the one she loved. To those she hated and would kill, like the Cybrids, would know her brave, courageous and determined side. She would become one of the best pilots known in the Imperial Knights Army thanks to Harabec Weathers.

Hey, didn’t know you have started another thread on femme fetale 
I like the idea. Look forward to see more from you.
solid - thanks for the compliment dude. lol, the first character is a femme fatale but it isn’t going to be just females. there will be male characters I will be working on as well. i just felt like starting with a female first seeing as how I am understanding the female anatomy better than male atm.
the next character will be one of the main male characters, but for now I’m going to work on francine.
ok first update of francine’s base mesh model. still needs a few tweaking here and there. not fully ready yet but I think it’s a good start. crit if you can. i need to work on this hardcore. peace.
ok new update with francine started in her sensual outfit. decided to do this one first cause it maybe the easiest to do of the two concept sketches. she will have more clothing but I just drew 2 sketches with 2 different wardrobes. this model is far from being done, but here is somewhat of clothes added. crit on anything you see that should be fixed. man im enjoying this program. lol, i just hope i can bring all this stuff over to maya for rigging and animating. 
another update. i added the different bows in certain areas and the bow that is in the center of her chest that is supposed to be the only tie for her drape over her breasts. i changed some of the locations of the bows from the concept sketch so it looks a little different. not sure yet if im going to do the see thru skirt. im liking right now the way it is. may still add the chain necklace and chain-waist band and chain bracelet. let me know what you guys think.
another update. i added the chain accessories. i think they make her look more dominatrix but still with the feminine look. with all the other clothes, they hopefully will go good together. i may get rid of the chain belt but not sure yet. i still need to make a ton of adjustments. especially to the drape that goes over her upper body. the straps are not good as i hoped and the look of the back isn’t right as i hoped either. the rest is actually pretty good. i really need to get myself a tablet. crit if you can. cheers.
oh and if you wondering about the hair. im not keeping that hair. ill be making hair in maya when i bring the model over and put muscles into the model better than what is in here i hope. peace.
Hey…nice start of your thread…
You fell in love with chains right ^^???
Finally an advice…you should maybe smooth out the area round the ankles…
or sculpt a littl bit there;)
Best wishes
moni - thank you for the crit. lol, apparently I must like chains. lol. I have no idea why. i will, however, sculpt the ankles a little better so they look nicer on her.
ok another update with francine. i changed the shirt a bit by shortening it and dropping down the sides of it to show the sides of the breasts more. 
. hey it is a sensual outfit for crying out loud. lol, harabec will love her when he sees her in the movie.
yeah so i forgot one little thing for me to do this in maya: i still need the lower subdivision mesh in order to do it in maya. without it, it will slow down maya. so I have to restart the model over again:( . oh well, it’ll give me more practice. and i maybe able to fix the shirt.
ok on second thought, i’ll just deal with the sluggish maya. i just noticed holes in the model im redoing over, so I’m scraping that idea. I’ll just remember from now on not to lose my lower subdiv meshes. 
so i tested it out in maya, it slows it down a tad but its not as bad as i thought so I’m not worried now. I’m going to the texturing in zbrush and hopefully the colors and textures will transfer over to maya. the next update will have her with her colors.
