TORSO 1
I started by blocking out the rough shape of the body type I wanted. the breasts and glutes, I created a teardrop shape to start off of.

TORSO 2
I then sculpted the rough muscle shape and silhouette. I didn't like the original breast shape after stepping back and used a flatten brush to remove them as I had already dynameshed it.

TORSO 3
I then added another set of breasts (which became a problem later). I also sculpted more of the muscle out.

TORSO W ARMS 1
I then built out the arms with spheres and cubes (I grew up drawing basic body plans like this so I just transferred it into my 3d practice)

TORSO W ARMS 2
I then sculpted the arms following the various muscle groups.

BODY 1
Once the arms were roughly sculpted, I deformed some cubes and set them to shape the rough silhouette of the leg with spheres as the knees.

BODY 2
Basically just kept sculpting the muscles.

LEGS
I sculpted the knees following the structure around the kneecap eventually ending up at a finished product I liked.

HANDS
I sculpted the hands by first making a cube, extruding masked circles I made placed on the end of the cube and sculpting the hands.

FINAL HANDS

FACE
I made the face with a sphere

FACE 2

FACE 3
I decided I shouldn't add the teeth on the face after much deliberation.

FACE 4
I adjusted the shape quite a bit.

EYELIDS
The eyelids needed work at this point. The bottom lids and the inner and outer corners needed to be sculpted more.

EYELIDS 2

EYELIDS 3
I did this via dam standard brush in Zadd. As well as building the eyelid from the inside and moving it towards the eyeball.

THE BREAST DILHEMMA
After a lot of altering, it was decided the breasts were too big, too spherical and too high. I followed a lot of anatomy drawings and muscular drawing of women to shrink the breasts and make them look better.

HAIR PINS
I made the hair pins via making a cube, using the lasso scissor tool and tapering each side.

BODY PICTURE

HORNS
After testing it was decided that the horns should be minimalistic, as they take away from the original design and shape.

DRESS 1
I made the dress by appending a cylinder, cutting edge loops and deleting the inside. I then deleted the inside polygroups and used the cloth hook and move brush to slowly push it into place. Then I used the brush goddess tool to stretch sleeves.

DRESS 2
Then i smoothed, moved and sculpted the whole dress. The breasts still looked like frog eyes so I slowly fixed it by creating folds and creases in the dress to fix the model.

DRESS 3
Here are some up close creases and details on the dress.

DRESS 4

DRESS 5
I also added ornaments that have been melded to the hair pins.

DRAGON AXE 1
I made the axe by using a curve cylinder brush then appended and dynameshed a squished cylinder to the body. After, I used a cube to mold the mouth and extruded the horns.

DRAGON AXE 2
I then built up the hair section with a clay build up tool. Smoothed the section then used the dam Standard brush to create hair lines, like in the character hair.

DRAGON AXE 3
For the tail, I used a plane and used a mask on a subdivided version to create clean fire-like lines.

DRAGON AXE 4
For the scales i used a dam standard brush to mark out the lines of all the scales, then went over one by one with a trim dynamic brush to create a scale texture

DRAGON AXE 5
The teeth were masked -- pulled out -- dynameshed -- and smoothed

BOOTS
For the boots, I use a cube and cut into it with the Zsub clay build up brush and smooth. I then masked and pulled out the toes for the tabi boots and appended a cylinder for the heel.
