Torso

 Introduction

We are still learning about the human anatomy!! How fun, not really, but it's a learning experience. The torso will most likely be a two-part blog post since I just started to figure out the body shape of the people. Everyone comes in different sizes and shapes and I just had to figure out what I want. 

Inspiration

Genshin Impact/ Mihoyo would be one of my greatest inspirations for this. They have 5 different main body types in Genshin, Each body type looks a bit different from another, but there are way more in the game too! For NPCs, there are at least 5 other ones in a total of ten! 

Brainstorming

So what exactly did I want as my character's body type? I had in my mind from the beginning for my character to have more or less the same body type as Hu Tao, But that was at the beginning of the process. I now wanted a taller and teen-like character model rather than one who look like a petite girl. A model that looks more like Miku Hatsune, a Vocaloid character. Although they aren't much different their torso aren't alike. While Hu tao has more of a rectangular type of build Miku seemed more of an hourglass figure than a square build, her shoulders are also not as wide compared to Hu Tao and have more legs than torso which allows her to look taller.

Experimental

So, I knew ith the face I would have the same troubles of trying to keep the edge lines straight to match up with each other in order to make my faces and vertexes look smooth than wonky. It's safe to say I did a better job this time around, but it still felt a bit more sloppy than I would like to admit. I did somewhat succeed on the body type and mesh so that was an achievement. 

Process

Reflection

Overall, I was somewhat satisfied with what I have done this week, I did everything to the best of my availability and I tried my best. I am afraid of what comes head since I will be working on the chest area next week and shoulders and hands. I can not wait to start on feet either.

Work Log:

Monday: worked on bottom half and backside of torso

Tuesday: Finished back of torso and started the side

Wednesday: Finished side and started the front.

Thursday: Cleaned up my lines and made sure everything looked about right made the torsos into a more S shape because spines are S shaped

Friday: Finished the torso started on the shoulder blades and will work on the chest part next week.
