Some corrections to the female anatomy. The big toes seems like its off.
Should I be sculpting in perspective mode to get a likeness?

Here’s a an update to Blanka’s proportions and overall form. I am going to touch up his teeth soon. And was thinkiing about completely retopologizing him, since he was form with zspheres. I have some trouble getting the shapes I want in the nose region.
coool !
looking forward to more blanka updates . Do add some orange hair to relate him more
Definetly will! THanks for checking it out. I want to make his hair spiky and orange. I’m just not sure how to go about doing it, and if it should be done before or after posing him. I want to pose him similarly to the original Street Fighter 2 artwork.
Hi womball.
Nice stuff you have going here.
Overall maybe the back of your portrait heads might be a little small. I am doing the skull tutorial atm and am really surprised at how big the brain area is. Also the shape of the head is different to how I imagined it. Its a pretty good excesize in itself. Maybe you would find it as usefull as I am.

Update to the head. The character’s name is Herbert West.
Still working on his glasses. Might give him a hand and a syringe later on too.
womball the head is looking nice but has room for improvement. It is good that you are trying to capture imperfections of the face. Some of the observations you have about the face are right but some are off like the wings of the nose. It may look that way in the photo but photos lie alot due to lens distortion and lighting. I would suggest you to go for a very steril generic loooking face for experiment. Once you get comfortable with the tool and overall topology of any face it will be easier to deal with real face in my opinion.
I could touch up my generic female model more in the meantime, to get a feel for the basic shapes more. I guess the wings of the nose issue are the shape of the wings and the connection points to the nasal labial folds? As for persepective I was going back and forth between perspective and orthographic view. The perspective view seems to have more distortion than a typical lens, so I was using a 110 mm equivelant lens. I may have to up that I see. The movie the character is from tends to use a lot of close up shots probably with some lens distortion and its anamorphic widescreen. I also want to touch up the lips, jaw line, hair, and ears.
Blanka is essentially posed. I do need to touch up the anatomy a bit, and add clothes and hair. But I think this is pretty anamilistic and true to the crouched over pose he has. Haven’t had much time to work on things due to work and holidays.
Herbert West Update Glasses!
Open to comments and crits!

Hey womball cool models!
Just for fun you should take the ref images from the zbrush skull tute and take your mesh back to sub one and pull stuff around.

Hey Womball! I’m glad to see I’m not the only trying to get a grip on human anatomy! You made some great progress in 2008! ! Already lookin’ forward to seeing your 2009 sketchbook!
Thanks for stopping buy Etcher. I hope to make some progress with anatomy, hopefully on the road to memorising the how the muscles connect to one another.
I started from almost scratch with blanka again. Different proportions this time around. ALthough I’m not sure I I should make his biceps bigger than his thighs. I’ve seen some really cool blanka artwork where that is the case.
I’ve been using the rake brush a lot. I want to keep this blanka loser and more directional than the last one. I might be able to get a really cool skin texture with finer rakes too.

A new update. Hopefully I will get some hours of work on him every day. Found most of the major muscles. I’m not sure if he will be able to roll up into a ball though, he’s pretty stocky. His face is also unintentionally assymetric. The x-axis symmetry went a little crazy on me when raking around the eyes. Although I think that may be okay with blanka, since he’s pretty beastly.
I’m open to crits on him. Especially overall form and opposing curves. The torso and forarms are my iffiest areas that I have worked on. Haven’t really touched the hands or feet yet.
Hi Womball! The face is much better on the latest update! Keep goin’ man! Muscle fun! !
!
Some more work on the torso. I try to do a little each night. But I don’t always have the time. Open to any crits, I’m trying to get varying muscle sizes, and S curves throughout the body.
Hi Womball! Anatomy has improved again! Your work is definitely paying off! Keep goin’! !
An update to blanka. Was struggling to get the forearm muscles to look right. They might be wrong anatomically, but they flow better than before. Still needs a bit more work, but I think I need to finish those freakin pants for him. He’s been naked long enough! Any suggestions for anatomy are welcome, I still need to touch up the feet and face a lot.
Hi Womball! Improvements look good so far. The legs look a bit thick around the knee area:you could bring back the front side of the lower leg a bit. Keep goin’ !
