HMC MINI-Challenge #37: Femme Fatale!: Betty White as Samus Aran

Hello, I will be doing a mash up of Betty White as Samus from Metroid.

well that was unexpected....lol....should be interesting....

Some reference would be cool. You are going for a young Betty White right?

Thanks for the interest. I am thinking this:

any particular reason for picking her? interesting choice i guess.

Lol, I love the idea. Everyone gets old right, even Samus.

I always like to do mashups for some reason. I will start creating a basemesh of Betty, full body even though she will be covered in armor. There may be some nudity involved so caution!

I started working on her face. Here is a wire and a solid.

Your wire looks nice, but, currently the face looks planar, and is missing the shape of skull. may be a rough doodle in zbrush or mudbox will give you a better idea of forms and volume, of your character, it is just a thought, hope you would be doing it after constructing the base mesh.
Goodluck...

Thanks for the feedback. I decided to start with a zsphere base that I will do a base sculpt, then retopologize and do a high poly. Here is this base. It will be a little stylized.

I've started to rough out my base mesh. Anyone getting Forbidden message from imageshack?

Yes, forbidden from Imageshack.

Guess I won't use imageshack. Here was my update from yesterday. Still roughing proportions of Betty. I don't really want to look at more old naked women.

I did a little bit of the face. I need to retopologize so I can get better resolution in the face.

Very Early work on Betty's head. Just about 25 mins so far. I will keep it low subdivison till I get good likeness.
