Will Ferrell Bust Challenge

David Wakelin

Hi guys,

Havent had time to work on this as much as I wanted to. The hair is just a place holder at the moment, really don't like fibre mesh...

Progress so far



Comments appreciated

congrats of being given the most ridiculous face in the world to sculpt. good luck.
if possible, create scaled front/side images and get your base mesh to scale

I know, he's so odd looking..

Any criticisms or feedback would be appreciated anything I've done that could be changed?

Hi, It's looking good so far. I did a a super crappy paint over for ya :P

It doesn't help much to make him look like Will Ferrell, but I wanted to exaggerate the shapes of the major landmarks you happen to be missing. It's better to get those in place and then make adjustments to them to form a likeness.

Here's a list of landmarks I added/changed.

- Moved cheekbones up (you can sculpt/build up fatty tissue after the fact) The widest point of the face is the zygomatic arch. Be sure to get that in there.

- Typically the corners of the mouth extend to line up with the middle of the eye.

- The top of the Skull is usually larger in width than the lower half of the face with the widest point being above and to the rear of the ear.

- Lowest point of the bags under the eyes usually fall toward the outer side of the eye.

- lips a bit thicker.



His eyes also sorta make him look angry :P Try to sculpt him looking a bit cheerful as I think adding a bit of his personality will help sell the likeness.
Hope it helps!

Another update, will probably go for a finer detail pass now unless anyone has issues with my proportions...

David Wakelin

Finished the ears... Theyre actually a little higher on him in real life, although it didn't look natural at this time without his hair! Might move them up later on

David Wakelin

Bump...
