Vincent Van Gogh (w.i.p)

SneakyP · Jan 2008

this is my attempt at creating Vincent Van Gogh in 3D using his self portraits as ref. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I second that; chop one off.

pliang · Jan 2008

Use a seperate texture map for the severed ear

John Warner · Jan 2008

For Van Gough, push the colors and texture! push towards Expressionism..

pliang · Jan 2008

And maybe the sunflower painting behind him as a background.

I like the said art direction of expressionism.

SneakyP · Jan 2008

whats up josh. thanks for the comments everyone. I'll have many updated renders soon..

danr · Jan 2008

yeah, everyone knows van gogh chopped his entire ear off when he was a baby and so spent his entire adult life with only one. It's looking good, *please say you're not going to do anything as chronic as lose an ear ...

Be honest with me Dan, are you angry because you didn't know the only things that are worth knowing about Van Gogh?He chopped off his ear and painted sunflowers, and these facts need to be stated, repeatedly.
That being said, I'd like to see you try John Warner's suggestion. I don't know if it'll work, and I quite like the current subdued treatmeant, but the idea sounds good. The hair in general looks a bit soft and furry, as well as having very little variation in colour or coarseness, and his moustache is really frighteningly solid and large. Rather reminds me of Davy jones' (from Pirates o/t Carribean) upperlip-tentacle

Hi sneakyP. Looking really good. Two things stand out to me. His eyes are little too bright and there's something about his temples that just look messy or bumpy. I would also suggest messing a bit more with his hair and beard to break up the symmetry cause he seems unnaturally symmetrical when looking at these parts.

Great job otherwise, instantly recognizable

Tamarin · Jan 2008

I did a quick paint over.

His face is less full and he has a pointy nose + crazy eyes.

SneakyP · Jan 2008

heres some more updates. Rendered in Zbrush and touched up in photoshop. I'll post some more renders soon.

I couldnt really find any reference on how a ear with a cut off lope would look like so I improvised. What do you think?

Jaco · Jan 2008

Nice textures, the actual ear needs some more depth and detail though, it's a bit flat inside.

pliang · Jan 2008

Yeah I would paint in some more shadows in the cochlear area as well some shadows around the eyeballs...they're all lacking a little dimensions as of now...

awesome

Nice!
Eyes are still too white and lack a dropshadow, and the beard looks a bit too photo-airbrushed to me.

He looks like a freak, but that's good!
