Description
The Dark Lady - Final Render3ds Max, Vray, Mudbox, Photoshop
Character concept by Blizzard Entertainment
My first full body character model, rigged. She's not perfect but I did my best, it was a learning experience more than anything.
Critique is appreciated as always.

Ah yes! Our Lady! Long 'live' *XD* Sylvanas!
Hmm...it looks like you might have been going for a slightly more cartoony look then the other images I have seen so far in your gallery, but where the armor and bow have very nice shape, form and texture, the cloak shape and texture seem a little strange. Β It looks stiff, and the head part appears to be twinning just a little too much, so it looks molded rather then soft and 'organic'. Β The texture looks like you might have been going for silk? But it came out looking more like metal. Β Maybe just a very gentle speckle like bump map to give more of a fine-cloth like appearance?
The one other thing that stood out to me was the skin. Β It looks like some kind of a noise texture was used, but the effect is a bit too heavy, especially around her torso.
Those are just my opinions though.

Thank you for the kind comments. All the things I know I learned by myself, with the help of online tutorials and years of practice, so the answer is no, I am not attending a college/art school... Why? Because I had no opportunities to get into an art school that would offer me more than I could offer myself with self-education in the span of 4 years, so instead of going to college I dedicated my self 100% to art and practice, and building a portfolio.

I'm just a guy who loves Sylvana. This picture is amaizing in my oppinion! Great detalization!
One thing that could do it better, I think - the hair. Sylvanas has a very beautifull light hair. Without them she looks like not a real woman.
Keep going.

Thanks for the response!
Yeah I must admit the hair is lacking but I just didn't feel like losing any more time over it because I was already working on the model for a while.

Very cool! This is my favourite character from Blizzard!
Only critique i have is don't crunch your colours too much in the final comping. Pay attention to your lighting and how dark your shadows are in the initial render because that while help you to keep an even MID-tone in your final render. Also blend in the character a little bit with the surrounding atmosphere (colour grade + haze) so she doesn't pop-out too much, yes she is the focal point and that is why she is in focus.
Otherwise good work.

Hey thanks and I appreciate the critique, good points. There are many things that could've been better on the model but I'm still learning and improving!

No problem.
All the points I gave are all to do with comping, and its good to know the basics so your models look epic!

Of all the bodies you could have picked for your first full body, you chose Sylvanas.
FLAWLESS VICTORY.
She looks great man!
