I've been working on modeling the characters for the past two or three weeks, now. I'm still some way from being completely finished, but I've got the main bits down and they're at the point where I don't see them changing dramatically between now and when the game is released.
I've had a third party helping me out a bit with the actual character design, since I'm really quite bad at that sort of thing, though I've been kept plenty busy turning the drawings into 3D models. Initially, I wanted to go with a 'pixar' style for the characters, though it turns out that it's actually pretty difficult to pull off without looking like 100% shit. As such, I've fallen back into a style that's about 20% pixar, 80% pseudo-realistic. It's not what I wanted at the outset but it's what I'm going with for now, since I don't want to spend a year and a half on this thing.
For those curious, here's a render of our female leads:
(From left to right: Alyson, Madeline, Olivia and Tricia)
Their faces and bodies are basically done, which leaves modeling all of their clothing before we move on to actually putting these characters to use. Wish me luck.
