also, awesome start! if this turns out like your last work, we should make a CG movie :P
edit: and can we has full body this time? we know your likeness work is awesome, but from what i've seen you need to work on your anatomy.
and started working at the texture, the hair is just for look, it will be modeled later:
No get that low res modeled and baked!
But the neck, from the front view it looks good, but from the side it's a bit football-playerish. Nit-picking here, cause i gotta find SOME flaw! lol
Started working on the hair:
Thank you for watching
But seriously looks awesome, amazing likeness, great job! Siu Lung would be proud.
do nah look at da fingaw, or you wiw miss aww da heavenly glowy
From the looks of it, it appears that you worked in a 'non-perspective' view.
Problem from this overall, is that it always looks like it's in a orthographic screen view/camera. Which takes away a lot of depth in the actual structure of Mr. Lee's face overall.
Fix that up and I think you're in shipshape there'
almighty_gir : will note that down
a few small changes
maps and flat color
and started to work on the cloth:
cloth texture:
and since in render seams like the details from texture fade away decided to try another method by using alpha worked by hand in photoshop with planes
new eyebrows by using alpha with planes for a clear view:
viewport grabbed from maya,
Very cool character anyways !
i think right now it's a liitttleee biiitttt... dead. a bit much like a mannequin
i think its true what john says, however I reckon as soon as you put him in a bruce pose, or just take one of his expressions from your ref, it'll come alive.. he's got a very expressive face, for your final pimp shots I would try and capture one of his poses
Since your likeness is very good on the mesh alone, why not baking a nice, sharp ao pass, and simply paint subtle surface information in the texture (pores, skin blemishes, hue variants). It might look less 'whoah that's real!!' since it wont be based on photograps, but in a way it might also look more alive.
It's a bit hard to explain, hope this makes sense.
(just saw your texturemaps on page 1, I see you are going in that direction already. I would suggest to maybe ease out the remaining photo elements like the shadow on the shin and the highlights under the nose ; also you could try to bake a sharper/tighter AO render to overlay on the diffuse. It might look a bit stylized if overdone, but quite cool still.)
Good luck!
time to spice up a bit the final render
Amazing stuff, beautiful!
