Ethan Nestor likeness - WIP

HeatherLNunnelly · Oct 2020

So that I don't have to make new threads constantly, I am going to start a sketch book. I am completely redoing my portfolio. Which means a lot of new projects!

My first project on here will be me sculpting Ethan Nestor. I wanted to model him as a main character if a video game. Here is a collection of reference material of him.

And here is a basic block of his face:

Decided to also render in Keyshot because it's easier to see mistakes.

Took me absolutely forever to the eyes, and they still look potato-y. Very very hard.

I am having a lot of trouble with the eyes. If anyone has advice on it, that would be awesome! My biggest problem is this area right here. I can't figure out if I need to add more muscle to it, or what.

Hi,
this reference should help you out a lot
^Clicking the link to the image within that link brings you to the creator where they have much more information you should download and keep on a folder somewhere to learn more about the tasks you are under taking and then if you want try to find methods / processes that bring about better results in the future. Could also support them purchasing the book the references come from.
Best of luck.

His hair was IMPOSSIBLY HARD. But it's done, and I think it turned out decently at the end. Was trying to make his hair look messy and neat at the same time.

There is a strand in the last picture I forgot to move over.

Edited the model quite a bit. I think this looks a lot better.

Thank you for the feedback!

A update on his clothes. Done in Marvelous Designer. Hands and feet are place holders. Yeah my workflow sucks.

Edit: And a finger got deleted. Don't know how that happened.

Alright, finally finished! There's a lot that can be improved, but this is the first full body figure I've ever made. So, I am going to move on to another model and practice there. All in all, don't think it turned out bad. Learned a lot.
