More...

Okay, Aminata called me this afternoon and said that she had just remembered to ask if it was possible for me to include curly lashes on the finished young Ginette model...

I created lashes for my own characters so I suggested using alpha maps to create them instead of building each of the individual lashes because not only will it be time-efficient, it will look more natural and keep the poly count low.

The finished character, fully modelled and textured:

Finished Model

Here is the final model for young Ginette



The complete model is 4668 polys before smooth.
When smoothed it is 18354 polys (eek) including full set of teeth, tongue, inner mouth/gums

Details such as the skirt pleating and creasing of the scarf are some of the main contributors of the high poly count.

If Aminata needs to lower the poly count then I can suggest "softening" as some of the features including the teeth, tongue, hair should have acceptable level of detail when softened instead of smoothed:

14482 poly count:
*Body smoothed
*Eyes smoothed
*Hair softened
*Scarf softened
*Teeth, tongue softened

13922 poly count:
*Body smoothed
*Eyes softened
*Hair softened
*Scarf softened
*Teeth, tongue softened
