Matt Murdock/Charlie Cox fan-art

Amaury

Hi guys, I'm attempting a likeness study on Matt Murdock from the Netflix show Daredevil as an in-between project. Will do a full bust rendered in toolbag. C&C welcome !
I applied texturingxyz maps although it might need a bit of tweak to reduce the intensity here and there. The iconic glasses are still missing.





Edit : it's better with references !

Amaury

The glasses don't have a really round shape because I started using smoothed cubes but at least this gives an idea of how he'll look like in the end. No matter what I try I can't get to activate the transparency in my BPR render but whatever.

Next to come is the shirt, then the tie and jacket. I'll keep the hair for the end, not sure about how I'll handle the beard tho, either integrated in the texture or hundreds of alpha cards.
My benchmarks are Vimal Kerketta's work and Hossein Diba's last piece ( https://www.artstation.com/artwork/oQLeW )

This looks really great! Totally see the likeness. I'm looking forward to seeing how you handle the facial hair

Nahh screw this let's make the full character instead of a bust. A good occasion to practice anatomy even though it's not gonna be seen.

I still need to tweak the shape of the body, especially the legs to make sure the clothes behave properly in MD. The hands are placeholders for the moment. It will be a tough challenge making a suit that gives the feeling of being made custom-fit by a good tailor. He's a lawyer after all.

The picture ? I re-hosted it in imgur just in case.

Likeness looks really good so far...looking forward to the body!

Amaury

Should be more than enough considering it will never be seen... I'll begin the clothes now.

Amaury

I got some great feedback from @rino and was able to correct tons of proportion and gesture issues. Definitely going to do more anatomy studies in the future.

Amaury

I think I'm done with the body, time to move on now.

Hey man, this is coming along nicely! There are a couple of issues i have right now... it looks like he has no hamstrings in the profile view, he has these nice beefy quads, but his hamstrings are non-existent. It looks like his lats come down a little too far as well, either that or his rectus abdominus needs to be a little more pronounced as it wraps around onto his back.

His legs could do with being a little longer as well (it seems like his torso and arms are correct but his legs being too short make his arms look too long).

And finally his neck could be a little narrower, and about 30% longer.

Definitely got the likeness down though

Lol did you know I ended up checking my thread on every mobile device and computer I could find to be sure there was no problem coming from my side ? Don't do that again man 
Thanks for the feedback ! I'll fix all of this, right now the body is 7 ⅓ heads tall, because the actor measures 1m78. But yea the tip of the fingers reach a bit longer than half-thigh.

I'll post the body updates along with the shoes. I prefer oxfords for a formal dress but since he wears derbys in the show I'll go with that.

At least the shoes aren't Brogues...
