Aschenbrödel (WIP Update)

A new update on my Cinderella project. I worked on blendshapes, basic rig and fixing issues. I hope I can finalize it soon but I ran into some grooming issues that I had to look into. I'll probably go over the hair one more time to make it look fuller and better in general and then I'll run some test renders.
---------------------------------------------------------
This version of Cinderella is probably unknown to most West Europeans/ Americans even though the film became a sacred christmas tradition for many Central/ East Europeans and means a lot to me personally.

"Tři oříšky pro Popelku" (Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella) is the Czechoslovak/ East German film adaptation of the Cinderella fairy-tale written by Božena Němcová. The film premiered in 1973 which is why finding good reference is a little bit of a hustle but since it's stylized I don't want to go too crazy with asset/clothing details. I am just happy that I finally started this project as I was planning on doing it for a while now. I always loved how Cinderellas personality has so much more depth and humanity to it than in most Cinderella films. She is a skilled sharpshooter, she teases the prince instead of falling right into his arms and her outfits are absolutely beautiful.
