Ganondorf Bust

Chris Bruin

Hey all, thought I'd ask for some feedback on a bust I've been working on and off of.
I'll be polypainting this later once I'm done with the sculpt, which will be after I do more on the cape, shoulder pads, forehead jewel, undershirt, hair, and put in proper eyes.



Cheers!

Hi! cool sculpt! I like the strong features of his face. The hair is very detailed 0.0 I'm loving it! What brush did u use for it if you don't mind my asking?

Chris Bruin

All I've been using for the hair so far is just the clay buildup and the Orbs Crack Brush (Download link) (Vimeo link), with a bit of the Move brush to get the hair to flair out (Snake hooks work, but destroy the geometry pretty quickly so I avoid those until the end). I'll be redoing a bunch of the hair, I'm not totally satisfied with it yet

This is awesome. Great work, keep it up.

I redid the hair for Ganondorf, I wanted to do some material rendering and learn Keyshot, so I did a ZBrush sculpt of the hair and removed the sculpt. (I kept a backup in case if I want to make a print out later though)

Here is a render from Keyshot:



I'm not 100% satisfied by the render, the materials on his shoulder/neck guard are way too shiny, so I am currently tweaking them to be more matte/less vivid, they detract too much from the face. I'll also be making a stone body, this was only ever meant to be a bust, having a fleshy thing for the base is kinda weird.

If you've got a suggestion, please let me here it!
