I've been developing my female Spy ideas a litle more seriously in the past few weeks, and I'm getting ready to begin modeling. Not to confuse this Spy with the hideous practice Spy I was working on last year, lol. (We've made major strides since then...major strides...)
Like with my Medic and Heavy, your feedback and suggestions are extremely valuable for this project, as it will end up shaping the character as I go along and help bring about a result that as many people as possible will be happy with.
Here's some early sketches. The design was the result of feedback I got from my [URL="http://chemicalalia.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d22sun4"]Spy thumbnails on this[/URL], which was extremely varied, and strongly opinionated on both ends of the aesthetic spectrum.

This one looks at color schemes and her outfit a little more closely.

That's about it for now, I'll update whenever I have more progress to share. :)
Some of the main things I'm trying to deal with right now:
- A way to make her silhouette distinct on its own, instead of just in relationship to the male Spy. Maybe there's something I can add that isn't too superfluous, and doesn't detract from the idea that a Spy wouldn't want to have any obvious identifying things on their person.
- With the boots, are laces good, or is it too much detail?
- With the need for such broad shoulders, I'm contemplating some ways to keep her figure feminine, without it straying from the recognizable silhouette too much.
Very nice, but i think the headwrap might need to be improved or removed.
I just love your female models.
I like it.
I'm expecting some guy do make some comment about the sketches not being, "fappable," like last time with the Medic & Heavy.

Took two pages. Not as bad as with the Female Medic WIP topic, but still quick. (in case anyone was wondering where the similar post was in the Female Medic WIP topic, it was the second post).
Oh my, another model by ChemicalAlia, this is going to be great. Good luck.
Looks very nice, you're making good progress.
She should have one of these.

Thanks. Do you have any suggestions for what could replace it, or a better way to wrap the scarf? This is roughly what it's intended to be like, without the tie in the front: [url]http://www.popartuk.com/g/l/lgst4522+audrey-hepburn-scarf-and-glasses-audrey-hepburn-portrait-poster.jpg[/url]
Who the fuck would download a female spy?

I would and i bet a shit load of other people.
I guess this'll be a race Alia :P
Cept mine is more or less modelled...
Awesome. So, any classes you haven't made a female model of, and are you planning any others? I'm curious as to what a Demowoman would look like.

:smug:
Where are the other releases?

Haha, yeah. Though they're pretty different, it'll be nice for people to have more options to choose from!
I think the scarf would need to hang down, and cover up most of the back of her neck, i think her head and face should be visible, but the glasses should cover her eyes, it fits the tone of her being anonymous with the shades on.

I second this.
These are really great so far though. Keep up the good work. <3
Would it be possible to have the end of the scarf trail behind her head realistically?
Not an expert on modelling,rigging etc.
also, try not to make her chest really huge.

I don't think jiggle bones would really be right for that sort of cloth, might look a bit odd. I'm trying to keep it fairly conformed to her to avoid any movement, because with normal rigging it's not possible since I'm using the bones that are already there.

You can count on me.
Not bad. Not bad at all...

Because I want to see how this will turn out.
I just had a random brain fart. I think she would look cool with white hair.
Eh, I'm bad at this. Looking cool anyway. :3
I like the head wrap, can't say I like the broad shoulders, the spy silhouette doesn't leave as much room for femininity as I'd like.
No laces on the boots, I think.
And will she smoke? If you do use one of those french smoker things, make sure it's short enough to keep from clipping unnecessarily. Or looking unnatural when she's moving quick.

Yeah, I agree. I'll think of it as a challenge v:
With the cigarettes, I don't want to give her one of those elongated holders, since that will completely change the animations she needs for taking the cigarette out of the pack among other things. Maybe I can customize the box itself to make it more personalized, but clipping would be an obvious problem with that.

The cigarette is part of the faceposing :P
And is also on it's separate bone, so if anything, the cig flick taunt will just have her flick the whole stick, and pull another one out of the disguise kit.

Yeah, that's what I mean, though. I don't see how she could pull a cigarette on a cigarette holder out of the pack without clipping/looking generally weird. It seems like it would need custom animation work, and I hate animating!
Personally I think keeping the outfit buttoned up instead of showing off cleavage is better, but that's just me.
I'm thinking the headwrap would maybe cause some issues with hats but apart from that it looks good

It'll look fine! :P
You should be more concerned about the Spycrab pose!
