First I started off by working on the Face. It took a bit to get the right shape and get all the detail working but by the end I was happy with the results. Then I had to start working out the shape and length of the body to suit with clothes as I haven't tried making a detailed character with clothing.
I messed around heaps with the hair trying to get the right anime type pointy hair. There was a few different tutorials that i went through before finding the one that worked best for Steve. One thing that i changed that I thought i might have done from the beginning was the colour. After going through so many different type and seeing how they came across i decided that the best look was the finial one you see here. I also went through and found the best colour tone that would match real skin and that really made a hug difference.
There is also a few little things you might have noticed, such as making his lips a little red and the brown in his eyes more textured. Using a colour spray method I found it works well for cartoon like 3D characters.
After Heaps of trial and error 3 weeks of working on the body/ cloths. I finally got it to where I was hoping Steve would look like. That hands on this body I later on changes and fixed up to look the right way as I attached them wrong. What I did with the clothing on the arms was simply adding a few extra cuts in the arms before and after where the shirt ends to singular out each colour and give it a good effect. Colour for Steve was easy, I didnt have to go using heaps of detail and spend another few weeks on him as I'm going for a PIXAR look.
The shoes worked so well attaching to the legs. I decided after watch another person make his character that I would try and tuck the pants to give it a more clothing effect on Steve.
