Facial Reference Images (web filter is killing me)

Waterbear

I'm trying to get good facial reference images here at work, but our filter is blocking just about everything. I'm working on getting myself more relaxed permissions but until then, does anyone have a few pics that they could post here?

Thanks!

Pro tip; don't search for 'facial' lolz ;P


Talk to your tech guy, your company doesn't employ children so you shouldn't be treated as such.

Is pinterest blocked for you? If not, search up the pinterest thread on the forums here. Lots of users have compiled their references and put them on there.

I tried, I don't work in games so everyone is more uptight then you might think.

There was an "incident" before I was hired and they have it on lock down now, or so I was told.

I'd tried Pinterest and it didn't turn up anything very good. I'll keep trying but I figured people might just have that stuff saved on their machines.

What about Flickr?

Yeah, those are the crappy search results I'm getting too. Okay, they aren't crappy in general, just not what I'm looking for.

I was looking for something like this: http://ryanmfoleycgd.wordpress.com/2013/12/23/brief-5-human-sculpting-normal-maps-continued/

Except a real guy not from Far Cry. I don't have 3d.sk either. I honestly thought this was something that people could just quickly post, I must be mistaken.

That some super natural level out of the Cabin in the Woods talk. Do you work in a SCP lab or something?

Hahaha! Oh man, that was amazing! I just inhaled my drink a bit.

I work at a medical company. They are very conservative. For example, I sculpted a "ken doll" human male for them and was asked to give him underwear while I was still working on him. The sculpt was making people uncomfortable.

I'm not allowed to use nude reference, etc.


I can only assume the "incident" was someone looking at porn who got caught. Hell, they could have been looking at swimwear too. (True facts; swimwear is blocked too)

In short, penises are scary, so now everything is blocked. I really should have brought in my reference folder from home, but I forgot.


....and if you could pick up the conch shell, that would be really great for all of us.

not reassuring that a medical company is creeped out by the human body

what about 3d scans? 10 times better reference anyway. have them purchase ready made ones or look into creating them inhouse? or do you reckon your task wouldn't be worth the expense?

Popol

I second thomasp about using 3d scans as anatomical references. They are the best refs I ever worked with and they keep their underwears on so it's ok for your company, haha. Well worth the money!

Cool, I will look into that!
