Sculpted this today, crits appreciated.

I asked a friend to take a look at it, just sent him the pic and yeah he told me it was Bill Murray, so you're heading in the right direction. Are you working in orthographic view?

JustinPunio

definately got the l likeness down, really impressive for a day sculpt ^^ ...also wondering as well if you're working with orthographic ref photos?

Cap Hotkill

its time to work out the subtle asymmetries from his face.

Thanks for the comments! I didnt use orthographics, mostly because I don't know how, but also because I find my work comes out looking more natural when I don't. However using orthographics for the profile view is always really helpful so if someone wants to tell me how to do it with Zbrush 3.5 that'd be cool . Heres my image reference, theres actually quite a bit of asymmetry going on but its extremely subtle- I suppose I'll push it harder.

Your sculpt looks great. Although it would be even better if you could change it so that it would show a typical Bill Murray expression(like the one in the top-mid). I think that would make it more recognizable.

Cap Hotkill

Its the asymmetry what makes people unique
As you can notice, one of his eyebrows raises a bit, one of his eyes opens a bit different, the way he smiles, and things like that makes you recognise the character of a person.

Yeah, and his left side of the chin is lower then the right, our right..

Went back and jacked up the asymmetry and threw a smile on him. Definitely makes a huge difference with the expression.

Saman

Looking better already. You should exaggerate it though. You should push the right corner of his mouth(our right) further up for example.
Keep it up!

great subject for a face sculpt study, noticed a couple things with the mouth that might help the likeness so I made a crappy paintover for ya. The show of the lips were mainly what was buggin me, and I touched up the chin and muscle bands around the mouth a little too... hope it helps!

Thanks for the crits Goraaz and Ferg. I went around and exaggerated the eyebrows, the corners of the lips, etc. subtle but very beneficial difference. I also moved the top of the chin upwards like Ferg suggested and I added some volume to the lips, although I think the size I sculpted them at was accurate to the reference photo I have.

Threw some projection master on there.
