Self Portrait

[vitorugo]

Hey there! It's been a long time since my last post here (sorry, lot of things to do!)


This is my attempt to create a self-portrait in my own style. It was a very enjoyable work, because I was able to test everything that I've learned so far, as hardsurface modeling, character development, texturing, lighting and shadind skills and also try new things as curly hair! heh!


I would like to thanks to all my friends at TechnoImage - specially to my friend Saulo Brito (http://saulobrito.blogspot.com.br/), who made the original 2d concept - to my wife and everyone who helped me! =)


Hope you guys like it! Check ouy my website (www.vitorugo.com) for more info and HR version! =)

Wow...really great work. I especially like the final rendered output. Top row quality! Great job!

[womball]

Top row! Love the chibi style proportions and shaders and materials are incredible. The skin imprefections are a nice touch too, just a touch of detail but not too much.

Ha! This is great. I love how the render came out. Very well done!!

I have to say Chap, you do have a rather large head. A part from your deformity, this is an amazing piece of
person work and I hope to see much more from you. As opposed to my complexity in modeling and texturing an
many other on this forum this is simple but striking. For people like me, a piece or two like this would be welcome
in my portfolio, something of simplicity and focus on character (ambiance).
Can not fault your work, maybe hair ....but honestly who cares? This is a great picture and should be on the top row.
To cut this at the throat so I prevent a self rant, it is obvious you are "very" passionate about CG. This should be something
the moderators have to factor into their judgement of "Is this top row?" Not just technical aspect which we mostly see.

Well done, again. This sits joyously as my wallpaper, an aid if you will for inspiration.

I can't believe how good your work is. I totally missed the Blanka vs. Dhalsim piece. This thread should have hit top row multiple times by now.
