Super long midterm megapost!

hoooo boy
ok to preface, the fibermesh bullshit, I've spent quite a few hours trying to reconcile this but I've really gotten nowhere. masking separate areas and changing the groombrush settings to be more like a brush like you talked about the other day definitely helped, but I have no idea how to groom long hair like hers. i did want to put at least something up here, however so i did a crazy 'do with some shorter hair. I really dont understand how to work with fibermesh though and it's driving me insane


first section before attempting to groom it:

after grooming:

second section after attempted grooming (lses luck with this one):

after i finally gave up because lets be real i was crying a little bit anyway i made her medusa because I didn't know what else to do and regular short hair seemed boring I guess:

okayyy on to the other stuff

I sculpted crystals and clasps to attach to the chains with her vials:

for her giant feather bunch, I downloaded this one guy's giant pdf on like six different ways to create feathers, and ultimately just used the sculpt he included in the package to create her bundle:

I also reworked the face a little, added some spots and moles, and did some work on the skin and wrinkles:

and finally, here's her whole body. I did a little bit of something to almost everything-- patches and stitches on her skirt, re-did the texture and scales on her legs and feet, added some noise, etc.
