I've been working on this model for a few days now. I'm still not finished with it but I wanted to share what I have so far!
I really love how she turned out. I think I actually managed to get likeness to her! Which is a bit difficult to do! Her scar got a bit of a redesign. It makes more sense in 3D and lines up how I wanted it originally.

So she is rigged and I can pose her. She can bend and twist her body, move and rotate her flukes and pectorals. Her mouth can open and close and her tongue can move around. Her eyes are supposed to move as well but something went really wrong there, I don't know what happened...The eye rotations move her eyeball out of her socket. Eh, for a drawing reference it's not a big deal I guess but it's very annoying.

The rig needs a bit of work, the weight painting in particular. But I swear weight painting will be the death of me so maybe I will just leave it alone XD It's not so smooth but it's good enough for a drawing reference.

Next I want to try and get her face animated, but I don't know yet how to rig expressions. So I will keep working on it. It will be nice to get her to smile and frown and be sad and angry.

It's so awesome watching her move around fluidly with the rig <3 She really comes to life. Maybe I should make a small animation showing her move a little.
Modeled in Maya and Mudbox.
