A start to my 3D averaged version of Selina Kyle that I began over the holidays.

For characters like Selina who have thousands and thousands of appearances to work with, I've decided to only incorporate around 100 or so, or else I'd never complete them. The influence of each successive shape has less and less strength anyway the more of them that are added, so 100 seems like a good stopping point, since by then the look will basically be complete. All characters I make this way will definitely incorporate all live action performers, as many video game appearances as possible, and the character's most noteworthy artists. Same process as always, really, but now just keeping the most important examples. Skin tone is done by the same process; just average the colors together and find a suitable texture set that matches that average.

I'm going with Maria Kyle and Rex Calabrese to incorporate into my rudimentary genetics system: 25% strength for each parent shape, 50% strength for the character's final averaged shape. They have not yet been applied here.

Kate Kane attends the Gotham City Metropolitan Ballet. February 8, 2017.

Kate Kane observes kitchen shenanigans.

After the release of those workout variants for Robins, I had to try out that concept with Kate.

Here, then, is what Kate Kane looks like when all of her official depictions are averaged together, along with her most up-to-date hairstyle, tattoos, and scarring:

These poses are homages to this set of sketches by Krystal Beisick (ScaryKrystal):

And here's a better view of Kate's back scars:

She is made up of 331 body shapes and 322 head/face shapes. I still don't know how many different artists.

There's still much to do to finish up Jacob himself, like texturing, color matching on his hair and eyebrows, and tweaking the wrinkles on his face, but the shape is done.

Out of curiosity, here's what Kate looks like when combining only Jacob and Gabi's heads, with no other input:
