AdamSimons · Nov 2017

the most recent thing I was working was this character design.

I want to build up a process for making 3d reference for my work, since I enjoy painting and drawing a lot more when I have proper ref.
the figure came from daz, the clothes from marvellous designer and rendered in blender.

I had a pretty hard time to begin with, but it has been promising enough that I am going to keep trying to be a cyberpunk norman rockwell.

Here are a couple more small personal projects I worked on since the last post.
The screencaps for the scene in mission impossible didnt match up to what I had in mind.
A simple pose in as was enough to bridge the gap between what I wanted and the ref I had from the movie.

slightly more ambitious, the over all design is mostly based on chapter two of the manga.
I used a daz pose and made a vest with a bunch of clone layers in marvellous designer.
the head set is just a box intersecting with the head.
I used additional photo ref for the face angle\proportion and then stylised it.
