Quick Minor Update
Ok, I have to report that I am having SEVERE trouble making the Veronica model look close to the picture from the voting poll. I have tried about five different haircuts (including the one in pic) and messed around with her makeup, and I'm just not happy with her. I am going try some more later today, but if this doesn't go well, I might just buy about four models or so, and try them all at once in a real render (not model pics from sites) to see how they look and maybe let all of you look again at these with real renders. I am annoyed about this, but this is a very important character to me, so I don't want to be unhappy with how she looks. If everyone feels differently, I am ok with the Patrons deciding a lot, but I'm just voicing my frustration about her right now. I might try this model in outdoor lighting, but I've never done that with the others before so I don't know if that is best.
I am attaching just one sample, and maybe I'm crazy and some of you feel differently, but let me know if I am nuts. (maybe I not 100% healthy, haha!)
I create every character this same way with a generic pose so I can see their torso, arms, legs, and body a certain way with the same lighting and outfit so I can see it under the same conditions. I usually compare them to Olivia to give me a baseline of their body shape, height, and skin tone compared to her. (I know Olivia the best overall in subtle ways as she is the most customized character with combinations of six different models) At first I thought it was only the hair, but now I'm not sure. Any feedback appreciated, but I'm just kind of struggling with her I guess.
EDIT: I did this low res with a different model and I personally like it better so far, but not tried her extensively yet. Maybe I am too caught up with redheads and they don't quite look as good in this testing room. (first redhead test)
