I could use some suggestions on improvement to the model. As implied by the title I’m going for a 2D anime look. I’m mostly happy with how the body turned out but there is something bugging me about the shape of the head/face in general. I could also use some advice on what sorts of textures/shaders I could apply to the model to make it look more 2D/cartoony.
Its been a while but here’s a work in progress animation
Please excuse the poor video quality, I rendered it at low quality to get it done fast. I could use some brutally honest advice on what needs improvement. Thanks.
Really good animation - it’s not perfect, but it’s pretty detailed and quick, which is good. As for the character’s face, I think the issues are that
His eyes are a bit too small.
He seems to be lacking eyebrows.
His eyes are shapeless, and just look like rectangular planes. Adding a black border to indicate eyelashes and shaping his eyes in general would probably be good ideas.
His hair seems to be “flat” against his head, looking vertically. It should be at least slightly larger than his head.
