So, a couple of guys over on MFGG told me that the chin of Peach is a bit fat, so this is what I did (along with playing around with the Koopa head size and the Goomba's foot).

yep...the smaller head is better, seeing them side by side
looking at your previous post with peach, i'd say this new one is an improvement, also...in regards to the chin

Since you insisted, I went ahead with the smaller head anyway. Also, I made some additional adjustments to the Peach head.



Hey, do you think those Koopa arms could do with a good rescaling in order to make 'em smaller?

I think the arms have a good size.

So, has anyone seen what happened to this thread? One moment it was around 30,750 or so views. In short amount of time, however, it skyrocketed to a bit more than 31,000 views! Honestly, considering that there was only one guest browsing the thread and it was in the span of about 15 minutes, I have reason to feel unsettled by this. I don't suppose it's a bot, right?

Now, here's a new update. I can't believe how much I worked on Peach's head at this point already.

I think more of 60% of the traffic generated by this thread are by bots. There are many key words in this thread, and imgur bots with the images you include.
What's the difference between the 2 Peach ?

Vinny from MFGG presented that possibility to me in a Skype chat. I'm just glad that it's nothing worse than that.




I altered Peach just a little bit more and made some new parts for Mario. How did I do?

I certainly can't seem to stop working on this woman...




I ran into an unexpected problem with the arms. Since they are so straight, it's hard to make them look right when they bend. I know this isn't an issue when she has gloves on, but there will be scenes where she wears different outfits. I experimented with the idea of removing the outline in the area where it bends below the normal arms, but I'm not sure if you guys think that looks any better.

What do you think?

I think removing the outline is better, it gives more continuity.

You could outline the whole upper arm and leave the top of the forearm open. If you ever want to switch the layering so that the upper arm is over the forearm, though, you'd have to make an upper arm with an open bottom and a forearm with a full outline.

I don't think I completely follow with what you mean. Would you mind showing a diagram to give me a better idea of what you have in mind?

So, I thought about what 11th said and I think I got a good idea on what she means. I don't know if this is what she had in mind, though.



I also made a few eyelids and thinned the Koopa's arms. What do you think?

Yeah, like that. The outlined upper arm might need to be a little longer to layer better, but I'm not sure how you'll be using them so it could be fine for what you want.

SuperArthurBros over on MFGG suggested another idea similar to yours (his sketch is down below). The only thing stopping me from applying it is that not everyone would appreciate me making Peach a little more realistic by making her arms look anything but perfectly straight.



Now then, I decided to draw the "sketches" for most of Mario's feet. I still need to create the feet from the upper and lower angles, but I want to make sure this set looks alright before moving on.


I'm still uncertain about the foot that directly faces the front, which is why I didn't fix it up at all. I feel like the 3/4 view feet are suitable for practically any situation you'd use a front facing foot in (with the added bonus that it looks a bit more natural); however, I don't want to be hasty about something like this. If I need the foot at that angle, then I'll whip it up (along with the back variation, of course). Otherwise, I'm not going to bother.
