Hello!
Long time without posting!, I passed the last and a half year dealing with different personal issues that made me leave aside my passion, sculpt!
happily I´m returning to the path :), now I feel very motivated to improve my work and go an step further in my carrer. so I taked a course with Kris Costa at Visualarium, and wow, what can I say, it´s being a very great experience so far, with a awesome group of people and a lot of knowledge to learn, and a lot of work to do.
we are at the middle of the program right now, so I want to share my progress! to collect even more helpful critiques
a little brief of my course project:
at the begining of the course, I discovered “die antwoord”, a VERY controversial and disturbing south african band (with very catchy songs , a fresh and stylish look and a lot of bad words). maybe at a first glance you can find it shocking and hollow, but watching their videos a second chance, I think their work have a deep conceptual structure with symbolisms of south african cultures mixed with a badass sense of humor
well, in matter of tastes… (don´t judge me, is not the only kind of music that I listen)
this image is an inspirational/references board with some ingredients that I want to evocate. Beside Yolandi Visser (the singer), I´d like to include some elements from cyberpunk style, like ranxerox, gunnm and tanaka´s works.
this will be not necessarily a portrait, but I want to do something that evokes the energy and provocative proposal from the band.
progress images:
Character based on Yolandi Visser
this will be not the final pose, is more like a test pose homework (based on Scott Eaton work)
face and expression WIP
I´m working in the hair style, so more progress is coming.
