Some of you may remember back to my very first post here that I had a few dolls posted, done on other peoples' bases.
Someone suggested I make my own base
Aaaaaaand
I finally did! blaugh
I'm really happy with how this turned out, even if the shading could use some work. >>; XD
So tell me, what d'ya think?

Oh, and uh, go ahead and use it, I guess, but don't post it anywhere but here, please, I don't want anyone stealing this just yet. XD
I do wanna see what you make of it, though!

Oh, and a note, I used a photo reference for the pose, hence why she has a guitar (actually, the photo was of me! XD She looks a lot like me.)

To me, her forehead/top of her head look a bit too big. I dunno. I think the measurements are right, but the top of her head still seems to long to me.

I think the line of her neck on (our) left side could be shortened a bit. It makes her neck look too long, and the shoulders weird. XD

Her boobs kinda look flat and saggy as well. XD A little more roundness would be nice.

Everything else looks really good. Very nice base. biggrin

I was thinking about that on the neck line, thanks for confirming. XD
The top of her head should be right, considering she's looking kinda down.
Her boobs look saggy? I'm not sure, the photo I used for reference they looked kind of saggy as well, sooo I don't know. Maybe it's how I shaded them? Any hints on how to shade them more... roundly?

Thanks!

I think it might be just because we're used to seeing breasts more.. perky on Gaia. That, and the lack of nipples throwing me off. xD

I think if you made the shading a bit more distinct, it'd add a little more depth to everything. Maybe it's just my laptop (Weird shiney screens and odd colors when I tilt it wrong) but her right (our left?) side looks more defined, while the arm that's closest to us doesn't have a lot going on. Also, maybe some shading to show a collar bone, and maybe something on her neck to show those little dips and tendons would help, along with a little more detail on the shell of her ear. She'd just look a little more finished and ready-to-use. 3nodding

I'm loving her eyes. And her face. And her pose. And, well, guitar. You really can't beat that.
Congratulations on your first base! : D

Stalking you. D=

I tried adding a collarbone to her a little while back. Eh, it didn't work out so well gonk I think that's why I've shied away from making my own base is that I'm not exactly sure on my shading skills. I don't know where all the shading goes~ sweatdrop (And my reference picture is in black and white, and the light source is coming from a different place, honoes!)
I'll see what I can do about that ear, though, it's kind of bothering me, too.

I really like how her eyes turned out, too! blaugh Thanks again (again!)
