Joan of Arc

Looks much much better. However still not keen on the shape of the head (in my opinion).
Keep at it though this looks like it's progressing well  ;D

johnar:
Hello KyleSan.
 Kudos for your effort so far, and welcome.  :)
  Joan of arc is a classic tutorial and yours is coming along really well.
 I  like the updated eye moreso than the first. but that 'tear duct' bit in the eye, looks a little large to me.
 maybe the second eye with the first tear duct (size) would be worth trying. What do you think...?
 Keep up the good work.   ;)

KyleSan:
cooldude234, thanks for the input. With all the CC it just keeps looking better and better. I see what you mean about the head. When using the reference pictures provided with the tutorial you kind of shift your mind to thinking that those shapes are okay, but after some reflection you come to see that it is a very unbelievable shape for a head. Im having another look at the shape and after some remodelling I'll give another update.

johnar, thanks for the welcoming. I did some googleing and realized that the previous shape of the tear duct would only be applicable if she had a tear duct infection lol. I revised it and reshaped it. Struggling to get it to look like the real thing but I attached an update of the progress so far.

I also changed the eye texture to something more realistic, a new iris and some subtle vein textures. Im a bit at odds with if the vein texture is enough... When playing around with the texture and adding more veins she looks more hungover than what I had origionally anticipated haha.

Its great to have such experienced anim8ors helping me along. Thanks for the input.

johnar:
nice one on the tear ducts KyleSan, they look about perfect, but, (I'm 'nearly being picky here),
 the colour sems a litle bit too pink. (imho)
 I just had a close look at my own in the mirror, they're actually quite red and wet. lol. No, not hungover at all.
 Maybe just a bit more 'specular' value in the material editor, and a bit more redish.?

 I did the joan of arc tut a few years ago now, and mine never looked nearly as good as this one. Actually, didn't even completely finish it. I know that modelling is not my strong point, (especially organic), and will one day need to sit down and learn more. Will probly hav another crack at joan.  If i can get my next attempt to look anywhere near this good i will be quite the happy chappy.  :)
  Your 'studiousness' is obvious,  ;),  so well done sir and awesome job so far.
 

KyleSan:
Thanks for the input johnar. I appreciate the vote of confidence. I've running through your youtube channel and found your video of Paul McCartney excellent. The lip-syncing is flawless. I'll be needing your, and the other members, opinions sometime in the future, because once I'm satisfied with the results of the face, I'll be animating her. I've recoloured her tear ducts and added a bit more of a spec value.

I've tried modifying the shape of the face somehow to make her look better, but with every try she just ends up looking like a man haha. I'll keep at it and maybe get some results soon.
