She's great (although I do not quite understand reason beyond flattening colours- I do not think it's a good idea)- I love design and modeling- it's really great.

Great work, I hope to see more updates when your project is further along.

Wow, that model looks awesome. The mesh is very clean, definately professional quality. 4k for a character model is fine, if its for the main characters. If you are trying to have like 50 guys on screen at once, then it might be a bit much, but Torque can generate LOD meshes for that. I really like the sepia tone on the model, but it has to be consistant with the environment to look good. Check out Shadow of the Collisus for referance of the style. Great work, I hope to see more updates when your project is further along.

I like that the character because it is not being presented as a hooker like most games do. This gives respect to the human form. You see the beauty, but it does not exploit it.

One very good reason to flatten colors is to make a statement about whatever society the girl is from. This speaks of conformity and anti-imagination. Then as you play a game you brighten up the characters you make contact with showing a positive effect or to differentiate yourself from the rest of the characters. An excellent example of this is the Matrix. The colorful people are anti matrix while the others are part of the crowd. Another angle is have the main character(s) be drab and simple to make the statement of living a peaceful life as good, clean living.I like that the character because it is not being presented as a hooker like most games do.
