After watching (and becoming obsessed with) The Queen's Gambit, I decided to try and create Beth as a sim. I'm unsure how to continue, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated

Great start! The actresses face is actually a little longer. Can you make the chin longer and push it back. The eyes and mouth look good to me. Maybe raise the eyebrows a bit. Nose needs to be narrower at the bridge to make more of a triangle shape. Try turning the nose tip down a little, as well. Perhaps increase the nasolabial crease a bit. Looking forward to updates!

i think this looks very good. I agree with all the suggestions made by SimmyRN on this. I also suggest making the hair slightly darker/redder and giving the nostrils more definition(slightly wider/more curvature).

Thank you both so much for your feedback! I've made some tweaks to her based on your comments. I have mainly been focusing on getting her profile more accurate. Noses are always a struggle for me, but I think it's getting closer. I've made her hair redder too, though I'm probably going to tweak the final color some more.

I think this looks a lot better than your first pictures. You have improved the chin area and the bridge of nose angie. I think the way to improve profile further may be to extend the nose or perhaps the face as a whole slightly.

Profile and nose have been slightly extended now

She is looking uncannily real! I superimposed your images to show how the profiles match.

You might be able to see more clearly if I offset them a little, real person is <<left and sim is >>right.

Pretty close! Real Beth has a slightly more forward forhead and slightly receded chin/ lower jaw, nose matches precisely though!

Looks very good!

Thank you for your input! I've made some tweaks to her profile, trying to get it more accurate in those areas. I tried superimposing my pictures, and personally, I think it's really close now.




I've also made some changes to the front, most noticeably changing her eyebrows to a pair I think more closely resembles the actress' (though I still need to tweak the color). The eyes have been slightly tweaked too.


And just for fun, I superimposed the front pictures too


Thank you! She's getting really close to upload

Very nice! I think, maybe, make the nasal bridge a little narrower still and raise the nostrils a tiny bit, if possible. The nose and profile look great from the side. I think the model's hair is more of a ginger color rather than so red. I don't know how much you can adjust it. The hair style is a very close match. Great work!

I think this looks very good. I think hair color sort of depends on which picture you want for the final sim. Some of the first reference pictures have lighter hair/some are darker. You should see how the sim looks in different lighting to be sure you are happy with your final selection.

Honestly, have you seen the recent Henry Cavill sims???

I'm gonna say it: They look NOTHING like the guy. You are fracking fine with this sim. You are at least doing real work on this sim.

I think you are doing this sooooooooooo well!
