Hello people!! Hope y'all are fine. I was just going through some folders and I found out some of the screenshots of my old work, Super old work. I am sure that I started this around 9-10 years ago. Since then, I was working on and off on this one. I had one more that I lost because of HDD crash. It is so old that it made me feel that I really improved a lot, more than I think, but, still not enough though. Thats not a problem. I was so happy with this artwork of spider girl when I made it. I worked a lot on textures, unwrapping, skinning and so on. Thumbnail: ![thumbnail.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXcRbTUQPiUZHoSw5LE88MTKpTAa7Aactik8tXQVRGyBG/thumbnail.jpg) Soon after, I realized that it is not good enough (Lips look so weird and have a "cosmetic surgery" feel) so I thought I should tweak the model and fix the errors. That tweaking and adjustments never ended and eventually I had to abandoned the artwork. ![textured-3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYZnNzVAyy8m9Cp7N1o19qgFinuZLYRaaCnKQW65X7adu/textured-3.jpg)

Now Many people would suggest that I should have completed the character but the reason I abandoned it, is the amount of fixing things. ![textured-2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaWrKBCKj1Vx7NRotdow2TfK4UUHi9hcjG83zJrV9oU3H/textured-2.jpg) Starting it all over again would be a great idea rather than fixing the errors. I turned it into an experimental learning project. ![skinning.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXPkHZgYchq6PkA3TDtj3FVV5bF6nKYuz7xQiZyotPTHt/skinning.jpg) _{Skinning, where we connect the mesh vertices to the bones for animation.} Through this model I learned a lot about female anatomy. I remodeled the face and different parts of the body so many times. I hope to get some free time and better hardware to re sculpt this once again. ![facegrabs.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfE41aXcyVYJQ2aD7aaKbojBnLn658fGeijFeD3haXjR8/facegrabs.jpg) I designed another character that I would be using as a reference during my sculpting. https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbDCux95qCnUGXwvDnN6XMnJmMSce9qPdyZQf8isqGuwa/Spider-girl-process.jpg _{A recent character concept I did for the same character}

This happens when you draw similar characters all the time

I used to draw typical male heroic characters and when I was modeling this character I could really see the side effect. I made this character a bit too muscular for a girl. ![girl-stylized.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV1darGmeB7wp3LJ4NAeozKg8jxt9M8xEyPEvr7VP2JyH/girl-stylized.jpg) _{Not bad but not working either.}

It was supposed to be a stylized character but too much tweaking and my obsession with anatomy pushed it more to the realistic character. ![full.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUg9YqEybTtn1bVCnAjVuz1aWQV7ri6L9AYYnPbH3A2W2/full.jpg) _{Notice? Arms are changed in this one. I changed them countless times and yet I was unable to achieve the correct forms of female arms.} It wasn't looking so real but all the stylized and exaggerated features were gone at this point.

Where I left?

I finally called it and after a good edit I stopped working on it. I was more satisfied and happy with this design. ![updated.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXcd41d822ptrUmBu9yzTnmDfG9D1vGQNv86GiSTHPZ2g/updated.jpg) It looked pretty good to me, atleast better than the main character. Never worked on it since then. What a project, taught me so many great things. I have come a long way but still have a long road to cover. |Thanks for stopping by fellow artist/steemian.
