I asked a friend to take a look at it, just sent him the pic and yeah he told me it was Bill Murray, so you're heading in the right direction. Are you working in orthographic view?
Thanks for the comments! I didnt use orthographics, mostly because I don't know how, but also because I find my work comes out looking more natural when I don't. However using orthographics for the profile view is always really helpful so if someone wants to tell me how to do it with Zbrush 3.5 that'd be cool . Heres my image reference, theres actually quite a bit of asymmetry going on but its extremely subtle- I suppose I'll push it harder.
Your sculpt looks great. Although it would be even better if you could change it so that it would show a typical Bill Murray expression(like the one in the top-mid). I think that would make it more recognizable.
Its the asymmetry what makes people unique
As you can notice, one of his eyebrows raises a bit, one of his eyes opens a bit different, the way he smiles, and things like that makes you recognise the character of a person.
great subject for a face sculpt study, noticed a couple things with the mouth that might help the likeness so I made a crappy paintover for ya. The show of the lips were mainly what was buggin me, and I touched up the chin and muscle bands around the mouth a little too... hope it helps!
Thanks for the crits Goraaz and Ferg. I went around and exaggerated the eyebrows, the corners of the lips, etc. subtle but very beneficial difference. I also moved the top of the chin upwards like Ferg suggested and I added some volume to the lips, although I think the size I sculpted them at was accurate to the reference photo I have.
