Reason, look at 21b.. Which I just updloaded. I don't think her porportions are that bad.. From what I read, females are 6-7 heads tall.. And if you see from 21b, if you straighten out her torso and legs, she comes in around 6.2 heads tall. This using the original head size.
Okay with 21c, I shrunk her head just a wee bit. I think this works. She's now about 6.5 heads tall, and her hands don't look too big.
Comical, really? 8 heads is actually pretty conservative when it comes to this sort of art. Have you seen any of Tigersan's characters? Some are 9 or 10 heads tall. 7 heads is often used for Manga females, when the legs are drawn ultra long. I've only heard of 6 heads being used for children. Don't forget that adding hair will make a big difference to the balance of her head and body. Perhaps you could whip up some polygonal hair for your model to see if it makes a difference. But you are right about her hands. The guide I've often read is that they should be about 3/4 of a head and the fingertips should come down to mid-thigh level when the arms are at the sides.
Oh, and I cut and rotated her legs in Photoshop and measured from the ankle, so my measurements should be fairly accurate.
(Don't forget her legs are also spread slightly)
I rendered this new turntable with the head size from 21c. Check out update 22. I also completely retooled her calves and added the soleus muscle. I used this image as a reference. By the way, her knees were retouched somewhere around update 20 or 21. Forgot to mention that earlier.
After I rendered this, I lengthened her thighs just a bit. I think I may need to do the same to her upper arms.
EDIT: Yeah.. I lengthened her upper arms and I'm very happy with the change.
Nothing to show today, but I have completely UV-Mapped Flexia in preparation for ZBrush. Quite an ordeal. Should be some cool stuff to see soon.

Flexia_WIP_23.JPG updated… She has actual eyes now. 🙂 Could hair be next??
Do you plan to animated her?
