[polterizer]

Hi all,


It has long wanted to make the challenge of making a head of some famous and decided to make the dracula´s Christopher Lee as a tribute, this is my first portait model. whole made in zbrush.
Still need the jacket, tie, coat, hairs and some details.
I hope it will be good results.
any comments and critic would be useful for improvement work
thanks!
cheers

Looks good so far. I would recommend taking a look at it with some side lighting and refine the forms a bit more in that light if need be. A strongly projected side light will give you a greater variety of shades to work with and will give you some better perspective on your form rather just using a front or global light the entire time.

coming along. Great job. You might want to push the eyes inside a little. Try it and you'll be amazed how much difference it will make.

God, the first horror movie that I saw as a kid was Hammer Studio's "Dracula Has Risen from the Grave" starring Christopher Lee. look at the eyebrows again in the poster-like reference--the right eyebrow arches up slightly.

This is not the best reference of Lee as Dracula that i have seen but I think your obvious sculpting skills may make the sculpture far exceed the quality of the reference. I hope this helps. Nice work! :-)

WORK IN PROGRESS: Update render.

Maps (color, spec, sss..) painted in photoshop, rendered with vray (no photoshop), when is final i will composite whole image. still need maps for clothes and make new hair.
cheers!
