Juri, from the Street Fighter series!
I feel I still struggle a lot more with stylized stuff than realism, though I do enjoy both. I purposely avoided adding many normal map details (except for the hair and some of the outfit), and kept the textures pretty simple, just focussing on the silhouette and anatomy.
I originally modeled her in an A-pose, then used Mixamo for the rigging and posing. Surprisingly it actually did a really solid job with the automatic weighting, so I only had to do some tweaking in the problem areas (damn wrists)
Still a massive time saver though!
The cell shaded animation at the bottom was done in eevee as a little extra. I didn't really create it with that look in mind but it looks pretty neat regardless.
Anyway, I hope you like it
A small thing, but her eyes look crossed—like, she’s staring at the bridge of her nose. That should only happen to a street fighter who celebrates a hard-won victory a bit too hard.😉
It amazes me how I can stare at a project for hours while making it and still overlook something so simple! It's pretty minor, but still, guess I'm a little cross-eyed myself :P
Your character looks great Paul. Cool art style and cell shading look as you said. You even painted her nails, nice touch.
