Rin Tohsaka Bust (Fate Zero)

TAN

Hey mates.

While watching a recent episode I saw another one of Tohsaka's famous mimics and wondered "How would that translate into 3D" and made a little thing.

Here goes.





Original face:

Hehehe Nice job! This expression is awesome! Kkkkk =D

TAN

Heh, glad that you liked it mate.

Also yeah, her expressions are a reason for living by themselves

TAN

Yeah you are right. I really struggled on that par "a lot". Fİnally I left it at a point I thought fine.

Also glad you liked it too mate

Always wanted to learn turntable rendering in ZBrush. Rin's bust proved a suitable base for that.

I am happy

MisterSande

her eyes are indeed too far appart giving the expression that she is watching the tip of her nose which isn't the expression from your reference ( but could work ).

Other then that I think you did a fine job. I know from experience how hard it can be to find a suitable midway between anime and realism/3d.

You should use official statuettes to figure out how the faces of anime characters are shaped in a three dimensional form.
The features are often far more stylized to keep the overall look simple, clean and smooth.

As you can see, the nose is just a small bump. There is no bridge at all.
Lips are minimized. Eyelids are practically non-existant, if not for decorative or expressive purposes.
The cheecks are extremely full, almost spheric. There is no flat plane or visible cheeckbone.
Anime characters have a specific anatomy of their own, which is often (in case of highly stylized characters, that is) incompatible with whatever you would consider "correct" in a normal situation.

(as a side note, I believe it is possible to mix things up, but only if you have mastered both styles and you know what you are doing. Otherwise, it will just look strange)

MisterSande Thanks mate Yeah you are certainly right. I am really not sure on the position of eyes even now. I'll try better with the next one.

a3D Wow thanks for the links mate. I guess I shoul really go with the general "figure" anatomy next time if I can not decide on a final look.
