Hello all!
I decided to give this challenge a go!

I´m modeling an aboriginal and my stronger reference is going to be one of crash´s concepts from pirates of the caribbean movie.

Cheers!

That's sick, very inspirational. Love the creases over the mouth. Someone give that guy some Crest.

This is a really nice piece.

My only comments are that where the nose connects is really distracting. It doesn't really connect that way.

Also the amount of horizontal wrinkles under the bottom lip seems unnatural.

excellent model :tu::tu::tu:

[Sinzalot]

Lovely sculpt! :)

[Beneto]

I agree with oneigekko, the way the nose connects doesn't look natural; it makes it look like the nose is a separate object sitting on the face. The bottom of dilator naris should flow inside the nostril. Of course, anything is possible in art, but I think, aesthetically, this would help.

Other than that, I think it is a pretty nice sculpt. I especially like what you did with the neck and brow ridge.

That would be great to see this with a texture and a SSS shader.

Keep us posted ! :)

Actually, I've seen that sort of nose separation on same faces. Perhaps not that extreme but it does exist. When the face is stretched back in that sort of sneer then that separation should definitely diminish, though.

Aaaargh, just too late, your photo-nose just pushed away a nice thread :cry:

Aaaargh, just too late, your photo-nose just pushed away a nice thread :cry:lol

it´s all about modeling too..

[nero5150]

I didn't notice the nose, what stuck out to me were the upper front teeth. I know they aren't supposed to look 'normal' but I think you could sharpen up the details a bit to make them look more natural.

[Aberrant]

Awesome work. Great detail and anatomy. Only crit would be the hair seems under-worked compared to the quality of the rest of the sculpt.

[mauricio.sbr]

Muito bom!!!:D

[oneigekko]

Great looking model. The nose looks better as well. Good piece. Well done!

Hello all!
I´m almost finished with the modeling.

I´ll try to finish texturing too.

And this is what I´ve got so far! Thanks for the comments everyone!

[EricShawn]

Superb! But it would actually look better without the heavy texturing, I think in a pearlescent Mat Cap. Because it is a bust. :tu:

[dustinbrown]

Sick, man. I love it. Reminds me of the cannibals in Jackson's Kong film.

[mutte696]

nice, I like it keep going.

[stefanobernardi]

Great!
The facepainting is wonderful!

[parasite74]

I love the details, the three heads gives a great feeling of the headshrinker-cannibal, nice job!

[JJP3D]

Hey Fabio, looking really good! One question I had was how did you do the eyes, they look fantastic! That has always been a weakness of mine. Any ideas?
