fixed the skin colour a bit, and started on the clothing (15 minutes up to this point so not much to look at). Added basic colour to current clothing to help match up colour scheme for her skin and hair.

thanks DaddyMack =D. The idea for the scene is running constantly through my head as i work, unfortunately i am aweful at drawing so whether i do a 3d still-a-matic (opposed to an animatic heheh) or a concept drawing ill figure out today or tomorrow, my ideas for now involve an office type setting, with a lot of analogy into the one frame, im going to try something as stylistic as i can to try and push my skills. Showing a few things, number one, that this stereotype woman im reflecting has a very human side too =). Is she a servant to the circumstances of world and work? or are the workers she takes it out on the servants? … or, are we all, so many levels one can take many of the ideas put into all the great entries in this contest =)
Ill keep the updates coming as much as i can, this owuld have to be the most fun ive had in a 3d contest btw =D
Good luck again to all!

Today I’m setting up the type of design I want for the girls clothing, since one has to fit so much into one still, I am opting to use her fashion very highly to depict who she is, so the whole still can have a lot of analogy. My initial idea is trying to mix in an office type uniform, but then lower down her body, end up depicting more girly clothing, pink skirt, knee high socks which have dropped down a bit and some pink shoes, not sure which type of shoes yet, that comes next. Anywho here are the very rough sketches I came up for with her dress, please understand how rough these are heheh, being the fact in modelling I am only don to her neck >_<, these images are only to get an idea for the clothing colour scheme and style so I can confidently model, so you should look at it far away and while squinting

Very cool approach, using the fashion to depict multiple aspects of the character’s personality. I think you’re on to something there, but the pink trim seems to clash a little too much with the rest of the suit for my tastes. Since the pink only occurs at the bottom, and quite suddenly, it seems a little forced and may be too strong visually. (e.g. your eyes will always drift towards it, possibly taking away from other areas of the composition) Only you know how it will all come together.
As you’re playing with the design, you could try adding hints of her “girly” personality throughout the entire suit. (e.g. pink cuffs, hello kitty pin on chest, “girly” socks with lacey trim, etc.) Or, you know how dresses often have “slits” on the side so the woman can actually sit and move while wearing them? You could try putting the pink trim inside the slit creating a double meaning. On one hand you show her “girly” personality, but it’s covered by her business suit. Kind of like her work/job is hiding her true self. Just thinking out loud…I’m sure you’ll make some great choices regarding the character. You have a great design sense and I love watching your progress on this. Keep it up!

hey safe05 thanks so much for for your input, since i knew i wanted to give the personality while still keeping good fashoin i was stuck with this idea for the clothing with no idea at all, this is kinda my start on it, so ive been looking to everybody for their insights. I really love the idea’s you have, with these first sketches i was wondering how to subtly include to 2 colours to mix well top and bottom, i think the idea of the suit folds is a wonderful idea and im going to put it into practice immidietly on her concept, i need to get into fashion a bit more hahah. =D

Me too for sure! Lovin it
If she ends up a servant she would most definitely be a really cheeky, or insubordinate one and have a seriously teased master. Could be interesting to communicate.
Keep the quality rolling in LJ!

conundrum: hey hey good to see another aussie round too =) i see some here and there, isnt this place hosted by an adelaide ocmpany? hurrah, this is my first contest here so i havnt really kept such tabs on the last ones, i know for a fact Aussie cg guys like to hide, i didnt know of one cg place in my town, but suddenly they pop up when you get contacts =)
good luck btw, i saw your thread, will be keeping close eye on it, cant wait to see more =D
Peace out!
oh ps: DaddyMack: she will be playing mainly the master, but if ones thinks so deeply she can be the servant, this can happen in a lot of cases i think, its fun to play with =)

After being a bit rusty on the cloth modelling, i finally got a good start on it, exuse the lack of arms
Also playing around with the pink to try and mix in the design for when her skirt changes rapidly, and a headset with a blue LED which i will probably make brighter in the end, to help put emphasis to her eyes and face.
