Hi everyone!

so i just finished this art test for a freelance job offer that i received.

i had to sculpt the bust of a awesome concept
by Rabbiteyes

http://cghub.com/images/view/190508/

i had a little bit extra time to sculpt the belly areal and to add a littl bit of textures.

i had alot of fun doing it and i would like to do the rest of the character now that the test is over.

also its the very first time that i had to sculpt an aanime-style face so it took me forever to do it and im not quite sure about the result.

so any crits wopuld be greatly apreciated! thanks!

Amazing! I love the nose its really unique

CandyStripes05

love the hair, definitively strongly suggest you do the entire character now

not a fan of the face, but you nailed it compared to the concept so congrats on that

brwnbread

I love the apparant lack of depth in the face, just like the concept. I think the hair could do with it too, it looks all flat and maybe greasy or just way fine. The way you have it now maybe suggests shes a bit of a bouncy character lol, if you know what I mean? also notice how the shape of the hair is kinda repeated with the shape of the feathers; I think it was done on purpose anyway.

Really cool overall man

Two Listen

I love it whenever I have a bunch of pictures in my reference folder and I don't know the artist they're from, and then someone like you comes along and does a 3D version of it and I totally get to find out who did the concept.

You really should do the full character now, turned out sweet.

Sukotto

You did a great job on this, the armor bits look really nice!

But I feel like the nose is upturned too much and makes her look a bit piggish. And I don't think it comes off the face enough, same for the lips.

Other than that well done!

Wow that is crazy close to the concept. That is awesome! Really great work.

So does the concept artist work with the client or something? Or did he just pick some art from CGHub?

PyrZern

I love what you did with the hair
Wish I knew how.

makecg

Wow dat hair / shoulders really mix well together. has a weird alien like face.

Moltazia

the jacket is really nice

praetor187

Aw man so much awesome going on in this piece. Great work:)

SveinY

Hey man good work but the face need some more work, I found a dude on zbrush central that did a bust of her earlier.. this is how I think the face should look in 3D. I hope Petur Arnorsson don't get pissed off for me posting this lol.

Fred2303

Hi Polycount! long time no see!

so yeah finally i got the contract out of this test and been really busy since then!

So recently i had a little bit of spare time so i decided to finish that character!

i will definitly go back on the face and make some fibers hair( a litle bit like i did with the feathers)+ will add all the other elements on the concept.

also i plan to do a render this tim insted of a real time asset. so i did some test in Keyshot to see what i woould look like (no textures yet).

so anyways , i hope that i will find the time to finish it! and let me know what you think about it so far!

lotet

this is super cool! I love it, so much personality.

slkisor

Gorgeous work! I adore the intricate detail in her accessories. And that lace is amazing! Is it in zBrush or is it an alpha card in another modeling program?

Fred2303

thanks guys! yeah the lace were rendered in keyshot as a test for transparent materials

mariomanzanares

Awesome. I love the way your are detailing the accessories. The character looks good as a thumbnail/silhouette but at the same time you can zoom and enjoy de details. The face is weird, but it have so much personality and style at the same time.

Did you sculpt the lace and then bake it? Or is it simple texturing + alpha?

Fred2303

Thx mario!, the lace is just a texture + alpha + bump that i created from different laces textures

Fred2303

Sooooo finally had time to work on the hairs. I started over several time and im still not quite sure if i like them yet. They were done in zbrush with fibers and the screenshot is in keyshot

Let me know what you guys think about it and the shader. Also note that this isnt finale and i plan on spending alot more time on them.

Guedin

Wow ! It looks awesome Fred ! Your work all the details of the armor is amazing.
I can't wait to see this final render inside Keyshot

lotet

though this thread was dead, so happy its not.

Fomori

Lots of nice modelling! Looking at it from a design perspective I think you should take a step back and think about how all that detail will look as a whole. People always mention areas that the eye needs to rest, where there isn't so much noise, and I think you should keep that in mind. The original concepts detailing and colour is quite "chunky". There's a risk things might get crazy once you have all the fancy materials and lighting in Keyshot. Just some thoughts.

Fred2303

Hey thanks guys!!

Any toughts on the hairs so far?

jksl

it's beautiful nothing else to say

Fred2303

Thanks Jksl!

Here is what i have so fare witw the skin shader. im still testing diferent lighting... its alot mor job then i expected! antyways i think im happy with the hairs like this.. let me know what you guys think. also if anyone have agood idea on how to model the braids with fibers let me know!

I Like Feet

strangely cute

jksl

wow i wish i had you're skills this is definitely great love how she turned out

crazyfool

Looks amazing so far

Fred2303

Thank you guys! so i guess that ill go forward with the rest of the body!

Di$array

Stellar work Fred. Each update it gets better and better.

Judgernaut

Great work! Her gear is phenomenal!

Fred2303

So finally had time to finish that high poly!

i also did some other tests in keyshot but i ended up having alot of problems with the stability of the software so i think i will use marmoset 2 when it comes out to render the textured version!

Mongrelman

Looks awesome. Is the hair just geometry strips with alpha?

Fred2303

Thanks! The hairs are fibermesh

Texelion

Wow, love it. I just think the head doesn't go well with that body but eh, it's a style...

Fred2303

Thx texelion!

LRoy

Great job! That's a bpr render?

Fred2303

Thx lroy! The top image is bpr yes, bottom one is keyshot

almighty_gir

So... i'm not sure why nobody else caught this yet. But in the concept, the head is angled down, you've sculpted this girl with forshortening...

Fred2303

Yeah my wholo pose is pretty bad hehe

almighty_gir

nono, what i mean is... in the concept, the head is angled down, so the proportions are slightly skewed. you've sculpted her with her head up, and your proportions match the concept when really they should have been adjusted to remove the forshortening... the eyes should be higher, the forhead shorter, the distance between eyes, nose, lips, and chin slightly increased etc.

if you were to match up with the concepts pose and camera angle, it would look doubly weird now.

still... the hair is excellent!

Guedin

Fantastic job Fred, the sculpt is amazing, I really enjoy it !

Fred2303

Almighty_gir: yeah i agree with you! ill probably revisite the face to fix those points, thanks!

Guedin: thanks! im glad that you like it!

Leb

The detail is amazing! Can't wait to see it all textured.

Fred2303

Thanks leb!
