Old Joel
polycounter lvl 12
Hi everyone !
This is my last piece done during Ryan Kingslien's boot-camp.
The goal here was to imagine Joel from the last of us, older. To be perfectly honest I don't think I succeeded. I was torn between likeness and making look older. And I feel it just ended up a bit bland.
But that's ok. I learned a lot, but my next character will be BALD !
See you soon !

You could still push textures, because that's where the blandness is coming in. Materials seems to be a bit washed out and especially the roughness on clothes is too soft and constant. All the clothing including boots and backpack could use some stitching as well. He's is also missing his broken wristwatch which has the biggest sentimental value for Joel by still wearing it. But you can add it now, because it's pretty simply sitting on the wrist.
I guess older Joel from this would be pretty much close to a grandpa, lol. So, I don't know. I think by improving textures you can get a real good porfolio piece from this.
Thanks for your comment man. I got a bit busy and I'm kind of sick of this guy but you are totally right: He must have the watch ! (I even made a tan line for it and I forgot >.<)
I also made the lighting less busy.
And a turn around just for fun:
On to the next one !
Another thing I would say is the hair is a bit curlier than what you got. Also the eyes are a bit smaller.
Again great job!
But thanks
