Oliver Kahn WIP!

Miguelito

Hi there,
I am trying to make the face of Oliver Kahn in hipoly. The base mesh is done Max and then exported to zbrush. I already added a skinshader and some lighting but it's still a WIP.
And now for the us boys : Oliver Kahn is a german soccer-goalkeeper. (yes, soccer, the sport of the moon )


How do you like it?

Cool start Miguelito, but I think you are a long way off from the likeness just yet.

Kahn is very neanderthal looking. More square features. Stronger jaw, heavier brow, wider nose etc.

Also, your crows feet (the wrinkles that form either side of the eyes) are too vertical.
Good start though, study the ref. a little closer and keep at it. Take a look at a charicature of Kahn, and you can get a good idea of the most prominent features (in his case, wide jaw, wide, short nose, heavy brow, lopsided somewhat protruding mouth, fatty upper eyelids) :

Thx for the crits. I had some time today to work on him.
Thx Daz for the hints and for the first link, I missed that one somehow. Well here is the update:



@kunglao: There are still two camps in Germany: The first prefers the lemon Lehmann while the second one (mostly Bavarians)prefers Kahn. Enough said! Dont mention that lemon again!

Cheers

Why we use the word soccer here? If for us the correct word is Football !
FIFA- Federation Internationale de Football Association
UEFA - Union of European Football Associations

About the model, he needs alot hair GL!

Daz

that's a great improvement!

Miguelito

Thx for the crits. Just a minor update this time. I just tweaked shapes and proportions here and there. I think from a modeling point of view he's quite done. I dont see any major mistakes and it's hard to get more likeness without eyes, hair and texture - at least for me.
Now I want to go to projection master stage and then texturing him (I think I'll try ZBrush here for the 1st time).



Cheers

ultra , if i am not mistaken it was 'soccer' it britain originally.
And since we invented the game suppose thats ok.

Miguelito

Been a long time. Didnt have much time to work on it. Anyway, I used the tweaked low poly model that I exported to ZBrush which is at 2900 tris right now. It's a lot I know but I bought Jason Osipas book and im trying to get into facial animation... . I know that there are seams but it's still very WIP.



Hope you like it!
