Tina-2.0

Description from original post (created 2014-07-05 23:53):

My attempt to make a skin of Tina (2.0), one of my favorite characters from the webcomic Wapsi Square. The comic is full of strong and assertive female characters and has a unique mythos that propels the supernatural happenings in the story. Tina herself is a sort of collection of personal demons, only without the person they're meant to be with - a very wise yet very innocent if somewhat disconnected character.

Tried some different shading strategies for the hair, arms, and legs.  Not quite sure it turned out the way I'd like (i've been stuck without MCSkin3D for a bit, so it's been challenging to figure out how all the pieces work together.)  I may edit her a bit more later.

So, I wasn't satisfied with how this skin initially turned out. In reviewing it, I think using the body layers was getting in the way of actually representing the character. While I liked the use of the layers for her wings, all the other layer elements sort of overbalanced / misproportioned the skin. I decided to simplify her down to a pre 1.7 skin and adjust some of the shading to see if it would look better.  Later I'll post the "3D" skin here in the text for those who may have liked the older version, along with a version without her wings for anyone interested.
