Kod awesome design and pose, I love to see other peeps progression, I save all my updates in separate files too, it's saved my ass a few times. There is one thing that's bugging me though and that's the lower portion of her face, it's definitely the proportions of her jaw, if you scale it down it will make it look smaller/more feminine. I really like the background update on your final wip, tying the death star in there is a nice touch as vader is her father too. Overall looking awesome.
Val that's an awesome story leading up to your characters, they are all detailed really well so far and their characteristics and expressions really tie into their characters. You're definite strong point is characters for sure. The clothing choices all correspond with the star wars universe really well, looking forward to your next update with the character change you mentioned, keep going!
Atto, loving the pose and anatomy and expression everything is working really well together, I can almost see the completed detail in my head and it's going to look awesome, with that underlying work you already have going. I would definitely make her hair arc with a samurai haircut to match that motion in the background, for some reason I can see her with red hair, but do your own thing !
Wolf, cool design so far, very different from your usual stuff, heavy shout out to the anime style, it's looking great so far, sort of reminds me of one of those metro-sexual Final Fantasy bosses, which isn't a bad thing!
I don't see myself continuing with mine but you never know, I am going through one of my infamous changing up my idea fazes, but i'm afraid I won't have enough time to turn it around this time
Sorry fellas and gals.
