new charater : Wendy

[Sebcesoir]

Hello!
Just wanted to share my new character: wendy.
It was not 100% finished but I unfortunatly had to conclude this work faster than I wish.
I wish I could work more on the shader to give better light direction... It's just a tweak version of the clay mat...
Zbrush rendering with final photoshop toutch up.

High res version:



Separate tool as following: head, tooth, eyes, hairs, body, Tshirt.
Everything is polypainted.

Here's a very early version of the face I liked:

[Bryan Silva]

I love the heads, and the skin. I think the only thing thats lacking is the shirt. The chest area looks a little off. Like shes wearing a sports bra. Also the top of the shirt. It is close together like the shirt is a halter (spelling?) top but it doesnt loook like it is supposed to be. THere is also a odd lump on her right hip area. Looks unnatural.Keep up the great work. I cant wait to see more.

Nice work, Sebcesoir.

Base the body off of a tennis star? (maybe it's just
the sports bra that's making her reminiscent of Serena Williams)

Small crit: seems that the crown of her head is low. It's
even more apparent with the hairstyle so close over the eyebrows.

Overall, nice stuff for 'not 100%'.

Quick question: Are you able to bake out your MatCaps to your models,
or are these just renders from Z3 with post work?

Cheers.

*edit* haha...Bryan...we both commented on sports bras.

Very realistic! I could swear she's looking right at me Amazing stuff

[drive2moon]

Nice work again, Sebcesoir.
And really nice texture work considering it's all polypainting.

[undoz]

Looking great! I thought at one of the Williams sisters when I saw the picture.
The white shirt edge seems a little rugged.

[panstar]

Great work, love the skin tones very realistic, I agree with bryan that the halter top needs a bit mor work. but thats it.

How did you do the hair/ Is this modeled then polypainted or painted in photoshop?

top

[j lizzle]

Great work. Can you show us the texture map? I'd like to see how much is texture, how much is sculpting and how much is shader. I still struggle with that balance, where as you have definitely figured it out. Great work again.

[skinnybonez]

that second head is really nice...great work!

[Sebcesoir]

Yeah, the first head is efinitivly mor fememinie, thats why I posted it, but my aim was to do a very strnong looking girl.
Its seems that I succed

[SNARK]

Seb,

Your skin shaders are always exceptional (settings?). The blend from skin to hair is still an illustrator's dodge, but an acceptable and convinving dodge. I do not understand why work like this is not top row. You continue to inspire. Thanks much.

[kyphur]

Looks really good man.

[industripop]

ahh yes, another incredible post by Seb. I was just wondering today about doing eyeballs in ZBrush 3---guess this answers the question decisively!

think this chick works out at my gym

[Sebcesoir]

Thx for the comments!
Regarding the shader is pretty simple:
Its the was shader.
Ias you know, its very red end doesn't mix so well with a texture at the begining.
You correct this simply: open the modifiers tab, in the shader seeting: the base color is white.
You have to change it a "soustractive" way: for a skin, choose a red color and click the base slot, it will remove red to the shader and you will get a convincing skintone. You have to play with it to match your texture.
