Sally

Sally was used to represent the sad lonely woman who had a similar accident with steroid abuse. She is basically the female version of Gordon, and when they find each other at the end of my film, its a love at first sight scenario. They are happy together. Here is sally modeled in 3d


I gave sally the same trainers as Gordon, just a bit smaller. Almost as a separate hint that they are the same person deep down. I tried to stick to the theory that opposites attract here in regards to the shapes. It started by plainly drawing a vase shape figure and comparing the shape of Gordon to Sally. Where Gordon's shape would go out, Sally's would go in, almost like a jigsaw piece. The faces are pretty much identical, Sally's being slightly fatter at the neck and with hair, it helps bring the hole film together I feel. As you can see in the picture below, I was originally going to keep the characters to blue and pink, however changed this theory at a later date to keep with the realistic feel. Here is an example of early stages of Sally's face.


Once Sally was modeled, it was time to Give her UV's. As the shape is obviously very similar to Gordons i already knew where to make the seams and the whole process took a lot less time.
Afterwards, with the addition of paint and morph targets she was ready for the next stage.Below are some screen shots of the processes.

Sally's hair was where I decided to experiment with her, I tried a few different takes on it, but ended up sticking with this idea as I feel it works best. Simply painting on hair strands. I originally wanted to make Sally blond, however wanted to avoid the dumb stereotype that they were given, as this is not the sort of character she is. Here is how the hair turned out.
