Steven Seagal bust (wip)

kunglao

Here is my Steven Seagal bust (before he let himself go!)
Yet to add his trademark Ponytail(stupid me forgot to add it before exporting to zbrush!)
Unsure whether to build body yet-will see how this comes out when normal mapped.
Tri count so far is 2600,going to add ponytail,inside mouth and teeth.

looks like it's coming along nicely... yeah, gotta get that pony tail in there. what are you using for reference? it'd be cool to see all that stuff, makes constructive criticism a bit easier. i like the high-frequency detail going on in the face, the hairline wrinkles etc. subtle but realistic.

i have a hunch he is using steven seagal pictures as reference

Looks good though, nice likeness! Is he going to have a bit of a beard goin or? otherwise his chin part looks a bit rough in the skin me thinks

systmh

oh yeah, i know. i was just wondering which specific ones.

really nice hair sculpt, man. but you could make normal map of hairs from diffuse by lazybump or nvidia filter.
keep up

thats steven alright.. now give him a rifle with an empty magazine.

good stuff, spot on!

Model is all details with very little form, work out your lower levels and leave that skin noise crap for the texturing. Hair is pretty nice.

UPDATE
Normal map now on lopoly bust.Light setup is not final.Yet to optimise.Added simple ponytail.

UPDATE
Here is the finished ver,could have tweaked some more but overall pretty happy with the result.
My budget was 2500 tri's for this bust (in actual fact in came in just under).

Used Basic Translucent shader with reflection at 50% coupled with 1 diffuse,spec and normal map at 1024x1024

Was going to go with a fatter version of Mr Seagal but decided on earlier career,spare him some blushes.

awesome

Very clean modeling and texturing! The specular seems a bit too bright in his neck, I don't think necks are that shiny. I also think you could smooth out the way the tail transfers into the head. Other than that great stuff! with a great polygonflow!

EricElwell

This is really nice! Though I think to really capture his essence, you will need to do a run animation.

i'm really impressed with the hair sculpting on this. good job! as for the textured version he looks pretty damn good, but something about the eyes isn't right to me. maybe making the iris a little darker, maybe a slight bit bigger? that's kind of just a silly knitpick sort of suggestion though. it looks good!

Thanks for feedback guys.
Japhir- agree on neck,spec map only at 50% had adjusted lights,but much lower and i would lose some detail on face.(if i ever go back to him and build a body would probably redo lower neck).
The tail into the neck only shows on model without texture as i did some last minute optimising and removed some edges from that area.Does not show with diffuse texture on.

adam

meh, needs more axe kick.


very well done.

Psyk0

hehe i like!

hoabert

Sweet. About time someone honored Steven Seagal!

Daz

Pretty damn decent overall! Certainly recognisable. Could always be closer though Things start to kinda fall apart in the profile there (pretty common since decent profile ref is always bloody hard to find so I feel your pain there). Not only does it not really look like him in profile (your versions chin is too weak for one), but I'd definitely pull the top of the forehead back If I were you. Generally speaking, womens foreheads are straight up, and mens slope back more, and Seagal is no exception. He may run like a girl, but he doesn't have the forehead of one as far as I can tell
