Hey there Polycount community! Here is a bust I have been working on recently. Hope you enjoy!

Cap Hotkill

Very good!, I love the fact that you didn't sculpt the moustache on the head model itself, those little details says a lot about your way of working

DDuckworth

Wow, very very impressive! I bet you'll get a top row over at ZBC!

LRoy

Really well done. This was polypainted?

Stoy

Looking great, man!

And exactly like Tom Selleck. : D Like a steampunk Magnum P.I.

Thanks guys!
@LRoy: Thanks! Yeah ever since zb4 has came out I have been using polypaint and spotlight to block in my texture before baking it down to the low res. Usually I end up doing some touch up at the end in ps as well for contrast and color correction. Thanks!

Holy crap! Face looks awesome. The hair could use more color though.

wi_2

great stuff!

chrisradsby

Wow really nice work, love the stasch. xD Manly.

Wonkey

That is GREAT!

Could I ask a favor? Could you put a stasche that awesome on me, I want to be that AWESOME!

Alberto Rdrgz

This ia lovely! love your textures!

iconoplast

I will admit that the title of this thread made me worried that this would be another generic "Victorian guy with goggles = steampunk" type of thing, and I was very pleasantly surprised when I scrolled down and saw the gears. Nicely done!

This is brilliant work, tons of personality. Awesome presentation and execution.

I think the crank handle is confusing the eye in your final render there, it's not entirely obvious why it's there. Looks like a little wooden arm.

Maph

Just like iconoplast I was expecting to see another generic steampunk guy, but this is a very welcome surprise! Texture is great, sculpt as well, and it has an overal high level of quality.
I like!

Nice work.

Agree with Hawken about final image. Without the other images I wouldn't know that it was a crank handle. Maybe you should have use the opposite render (centre one in 3rd image). Also, (small detail crit) the cogs wouldn't work. you have fine tooth cogs meshing with chunky cogs. Getting things like that right adds to the believability of a concept.

Still very nice work though. Sculpt is great. Tom Selleck? :P

Skillmister

Awesome! I agree with above though, maybe a shot from the other angle would be better to explain the handle

@ wi_2/chrisradsby/Alberto Rdrgz/iconoplast/MartinH/Maph : Thanks alot guys!

@ Wonkey: lol, sure thing dude!

@ Stoy: Thanks man, actually i didnt ref him once just this actor a bit from the show parks and rec:


@ P442: Your totally right dude, i aimed to have the focus be on his eyes and gears a bit, then have everything else kinda blend in. But i think next time i will spend more time on defining the hair.

@ hawken/ Stinger88/Skillmister: I definitely see what your saying. I looked at ref of cogs, but not the detail on how it would realistically move. I also didn't want a boring stand for the bust, but your all right about maybe the angle of the render gives off a "baby wooden arm" look.

Thanks again to everyone for the feedback and comments!

Lol I have to agree with Stoy here, he reminded me of Tom Selleck too! Which is interesting seeing how you didn't use him as a reference.

Model and textures look awesome, is this all painted inside of zbrush?

Welcome to the forums, looking forward to seeing more work from you
