Update to Blender 2.8 with EEVE and other way to resemble 2D looks (as blender internal is now deprecated)
Remove the bulky IK as some users may prefer to RIG by themselves

Base Female Model with Anime Face (with basic cloth mesh in collections)

This is one of my first blender female human model created.

Want to target at more anime looking female, but with realistic body proportion.

Also to try out the anime style render + lineart.

This is modeling and tested in Blender 2.78b with Blender Internal. But now upgrade to EEVE render

There are few collections to be shown and hidden for different kind of cloths
Collections.longdress
Collections.short
Collections.underware

Some topology may not be the most accurate choices, but thought to contribute if there is some one looking for something similar

This is before there are full tutorials on entire female modeling, so in past was kind of watch one videos and then reference other
for other body parts and try to merge all together

All textures in the model are hand drawn by me, so all cover under below CC-0 (no separate license)

CC-0 as it seem there is not a lot of CC-0 base model, nothing against CC-BY, but sometime there is need for CC-0 license object

Thanks to following authors and their articles
