Lumière

Decided to create a digital model of Lumière for a bit of fun and experimentation. Also wanted to just go straight in and model without creating any front and side views, wanted to model this guy a bit more loosely and on the fly from just using reference images from the movie itself.

Some of the many Lumiere References

Gonna replace that candle with the finnished one eventually

Will re-model each candle eventually to add some variation

Adding some of the extra leaf details

Chihiro

The process of creating a video game character version of Chihiro from Spirited Away, Definatly one of my favorite Ghibli movies.  Would like to do more characters from movie but will wait n see.

Character sheets created to model Chihiro

I looked through the movie ALOT and took plenty of screenshots of anything and everything that I figured would help me create the character sheet more accuratley and for any future references I may need when I model and texture this character.

Working out the head shape

Clothes and body now and then refine the face a little bit
more near the end

Some hands needed now and a few extra lil details.

Inner and outer Rig of Chihiro model, still more to do, almost there :)

Those aren't Hoola Hoops around her although the pose suggests otherwise, They are controllers to help with the animation. Will have a video soon of the rig itself in motion :) 

UVW Unwrap Complete, Time to paint away :)
