Rikku Fan Model Feedback

[system]

Hello again.

I’m looking to do one of my favorite characters from the FF series: Rikku.

I’m going to be modeling her with her Lady Luck dress, but I wanted to get some initial feedback on the face. Cuz if her face doesn’t look like the Rikku we all know and love, then it’s not really Rikku.

Here’s an initial sculpt. I noticed from the in game models as well as the cinematics from the the game, she has a less prominent but raised brow, very slow rounding but a little higher cheekbone, flatter and straighter nose and not so bulbous. Let me know what you guys think. I know it may be hard to really see the differences/similarities, but any help would be appreciated.

I did a quick google search and found this image and thought it may help you to see where you’re going wrong.

It looks like you’ll need to rework the chin, under jaw, nose, lips and ears. The lower lip in your model is not really there, so you’ll need to make that a bit more prominent. The nose of the character has a different slope to it (the character’s nose has a strong curve) than your model and the nasal opening and fleshy bit between them (I forget the name) need to be lifted a bit. Her jaw needs to be more defined so that the under jaw doesn’t appear as prominent and the ear shape is just completely wrong but I bet you haven’t started the ears yet.

Anyway, you’ve got a start, now just work on capturing the likeness more. You can do it!

Thanks for the tips. Here’s an updated look at her. I also got some feedback from some classmates. Let me know what you guys think.
