Girl's head WIP

Any feedback on this would be welcome.
I still have the eyebrows and eyelashes to do. Some more tweaking on the skin shader (it's FSS in Max).

What are you sculpting this in?

mark williams

Base model in max, into zbrush, then back to max.

What is your goal with this?

mark williams

My aim is a finished stylised human character. I have an idea involving her and a dragon but the whole process is taking a bit longer than I thought. Overall I wanted to experiment with a look, some sculpting techniques, shaders etc.

Take it one step at a time. Sculpt the model how you want it before you start painting it. Forget the shaders until the model is ready.

Also, post some references (if there are any), a wireframe from max, and the zbrush sculpt (without polypaint info).

It was slightly influenced by the artist Koji Morimoto.

Here's an initial sketch.

Ps. to 'achillesian' getting freaked out - sorry

Here's an update.
Modelled clothing in Zbrush, rendered in Max with mental ray.
the idea is that she'll be hanging onto a chain which is hanging from the collar of a dragon behind here, like a giant pet.
Still have to make the dragon though....

Think her feet might be a bit on the big side too.

any other thoughts/crits welcome.

Ok - done, more or less.

It was an interesting exercise as I've always been more of an Environment guy in terms of 3D.
Initially the girl was going to be holding onto a dragon behind her, like a massive pet dog, but the project was taking too long, I had other things I had to move onto, so the dragon got downgraded to a floating fish
