I've decided to try working on a maquette, as I haven't tried my hand at doing one since I took character design in school. I'm going to be working on my design for Psyche from the Greek myth. I'm going to break down my progress as I work on it.
I first had to break down the design: her head to body ratio, overall proportion, a basic breakdown of her costume. Psyche is about 5 heads tall. Her legs are slightly longer than her torso. She has narrow shoulders and slightly wider hips.
After I broke down her proportions I had to find a pose for her. Psyche is slightly shy, but cheerful. She is feminine. The pose I've chosen to work from is the upper left sketch.
I took the pose and created a turn around of Psyche to sculpt from. The drawing is the same height and proportions that the maquette will be (about 9 inches tall).
I have all of my supplies ready to go for the sculpting part. I'm hoping to get the armature put together and some of the basic shapes down this weekend.
