Faun: Requesting feedback

APiotrW

I started making a (sort of) faun bust in ZBrush. It is not complete yet but I wanted to get suggestions for improvement as early as possible.
The current version is a test render missing a skin texture or eyelashes.

Update:







Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Added some simple skin details and some basic skin painting.

Updated with eyelashes and some celtic tatoos:

Multipass?

well the resemblance wasn´t intentional

I think the head proportions and modelling are very sound, but the hair is not at all flattering in my opinion. I'm not sure if it's just a placeholder mesh that you plan to swap out later, but it's way too wiry and doesn't suggest any form to me.

I dropped one of your screens into Photoshop and played around with it for a bit. I ended up with something very stylized, but I think it gives an idea about how having more shape to the hair could help the overall look:


I'd also reconsider the tattoo size/placement. The one on the nose looks good, but the cheek tattoo seems too small and awkwardly placed.

Keep at it, though! It's a cool concept, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

^ What Marcobar said about the hair, for the love of Talos, I'd ditch the fibermesh
