Just to prove people, and myself, wrong .. here's the game model...

although you can see it better here

Minus .. I'm really sorry to have to be the one to tell you this . but . .its Johnny .. I mean you know he had a great life, lots of adventures, some good friends, lots of bounties collected and all .. well ..  you see age catches up with us all, eventually, and it caught up with Johnny.
Well maybe it wasn't quite age that caught up with him as much as ... well what I'm saying is that, well, Mr Alpha, Johnny .. well, he's gone to be with Wulf.
Up there in the sky.
He died.
I'm so sorry.   

Cheeky bu**er! of course it'll get finished.    Eventually. I hope. Depending on circumstances beyond my control. I maybe getting busy soon so it may well have to be dropped for a while. Sadly that's why Johnny alpha was never finished. This doesn't pay the mortgage.

Wayne .. Yes I'm sorry its CGI. But I don't think you deserve the pointy D hat just yet.

Cheers Darren. I'm flattered but I'm really not your type anyway  :-D

And thanks to everyone else.

Thought I'd throw on some colour before I start texturing her.

That'll be Petr.. a very very good sculptor.

Thanks Jimbo. Yeah thats the image that told me the suit is leather rather than PVC. Its a shame its not available in a higher resolution so more costume detail can be seen but thanks very much for going to the trouble.

Thanks everyone. Not spent too much time on her recently. Other things taking up my time. But this is where she's at now. The stockings aren't transparent so they're hiding all the wrinkles in the leather trousers. Her hair is still temporary, her face needs work, there's no gun and she still needs bits of lacy garter things.

Blimey. Well that's put a smile on my face. Who ever's responsible.. thanks

Hi Steve . .yes I've been googling lots .. and lots and lots. Good job I can't get sacked for some of the stuff google brings up. 

Well the intention is to get a game model out of it and you can't animate creases in games so that's not been a concern. If it was for a proper high res render then you'd create multiple morph targets for each joint and each major area of deformation and put other layers of deformation over that which a huge job and not one I'd do for fun. If it was for a posed shot then I'd leave the creases until after she's posed so they'd make sense.

I'm experimenting with the best ways to do the stockings now. Very entertaining.

Thanks Dave. That makes me feel better.

    OK OK I know, too much. But you can't build something if you don't understand it.

And thanks Wayne and Large.

OK .. here's one, but you can't see much at this size. Still very much a work in progress and I'm looking for advice from elsewhere on the wrinkles and how the straps would all be interacting with the material. I'm getting myself confused.

I've got some more pics but they're too big to put up here with the size limit so I've got them here. I'd appreciate some advice from anyone in the know.. I've had to do a mish mash of designs from different images as they're not always very clear.

Cheers.

Well thats the tricky bit. It took me a while to work it out and I still don't think I'm right.
But she's essentially got rubber/pvc/leather trousers on that go up over her hips. (in one of Mark H's drawings he's written that they're leather but he always seems to paint them like they're rubber or PVC) Over them are black stockings and suspenders. On her hips she has the holster/belt thing that also attaches to the cod/lady piece (?) which lies OVER the suspenders. Then there's the bodice which stretches down from her ears (she has some kind of translation device/thing over each ear  ), fastens to make the collar, then continues all the way down to just below her navel where there's two press studs fastening it to either the belt, trousers or the codpiece thing. At the back its shortened to just over the suspender belt.
That's what I think anyway. I know its probably a bit in depth but I needed to try and work it out so I could build it.

Adrian ..    I'm just working my way down ...   And keks! I thought that was just a Scouse phrase! Not heard that for years.
