Cruise_head WIP

CJE

Hey guys, started this last night and worked on it a bit more today, and I'm ready to post it up and get some crits on it. This is my first real effort for a Celeb likeness, and I know there is still a lot I need to tweak to get it to a respectable level.

C & C is welcomed and appreciated.

..see you at work!

:P likeness is turning out dope so far... only thing buggin me is the eye seems fairly inset or sunk into the brow and cheekbone area, mostly noticable on the right 3/4 pic... kinda worked better on the earlier pic mebbe.

and the texture is looking great so far too... now all you need is a less lame actor to be sculpting

Nice job on texture work! And Im amazed how the model really looks like Tom Cruise. I wish you made a video of you making that. lol

odium

Jesus it looks just like Kevin Spacey! Well done mate!

Raider

if you compare the model with the top left reference shot his nose tip seems to be much wider then that of the ref, it also came across a little wide the first time i saw it but other then that sick sculpting

movento

Nice sculpt.
I agree with Nizza_waaarg about the eyes/brow area.
Something that looks a bit off to me is the nose. I think it looks a bit to asymetrical, and the nose bridge seems to have 3 "edges", kinda strange. The forehead detail seems a bit muddy but i assume it's still in an early stage.

@sXe Seany ... Thanks!
@Mladen Jovicic ... :poly122:
@Nizza_waaarg ... Thanks i'll be spending some more time on this in the next couple days so I'll be sure to look at the eyes. Sometimes you really need someone to give you a fresh perspective on a model to see the flaws.
@ vcool ... thanks!
@roosterMAP ... thanks!
@odium ... Just what I was going for!
@Raider ... thanks for the C & C I'll look at that.
@ movento ... thanks!

swweet texturing. I think you got to focus more about his MIND! Get inside his mind, be Cruise! So you can get every inch of it correct

CJE

Here's an update, I need to work on ears next:

Japhir

looks great . the part to the sides of the eyes looks a bit wide, but other than that it's awesome! keep it up!

Xaltar

mm, not wide, too far forward and its looking odd in the 45 shots. Great likeness otherwise.

zxcman

love this one!

Joao Sapiro

you added way too deep facial definition like his cheeck bones, making it look very cartoony, i suggest you study the ref more in depth. keep at it man !

CJE

Thanks for the crits all, I'm in the process of doing some pretty mjaor changes, hoping to achieve a better likeness. I made up a new, and I think much better reference sheet that focuses on form and values.

Dippndots

awesome work man, his larynx/ adam's apple seems to be too concave and the latter to buldgy though

mrlemonyfresh

how do i explain this...
ok pretend his head is inside a cube. Each edge controls portion of the face, based on a gradient of sensitivity within a radius that stretches to the center of the cube. try pulling the edges closest the cheek bones done to the center of the angle of the jaw inward a little towards the center.

In other words, i think the cheek bone juts out a little too far from the eye socket.

-try emphasizing that inverted bevel on his top lip.

-try smoothing out/flattening those ports of the top eye lids closest to the edge of his head, they are a little deflated and wonky.

-i know it's not much but i reckon the chin dent is a little exaggerated.

apart from that, looking good!

hope this helped.

i think you over emphasized the crookedness of his nose in order to make sure that it was an identifiable feature, id bring that back just a little bit. other than that, the eyes are set a bit deep and the cheeks are wide as Johny said. not a bad start tho keep on it, awesome refs!
