There are so many sculptures of him and the reference pics online are never the same. so i did like a mash-up of the reference i had.
This is the zbrush model and i’m going to build one solid mesh over it all next and make a displacment map from that and then render using mental ray. Btw, i could spend forever sculpting his hair but i have to move onto other things and i had to call it quits. it could be better but need to move on. looking for critiques always, thanks everyone!
Lovely work, a great bust!
beautiful! im a big beethoven fan.!top row if you ask me!
well im no beethoven fan…never really cared to search what he looked like uptill now …but that is a damn good sculpt. best parts the hair. smooooth.
awesome Sculpt .
very cool sculpt man,hair looks amazing.
Very late update because i sold off my 12x19’’ wacom tablet (was TO big) and i was waiting on my new 9x12 to arrive…took over a week and a half. here is an update.
i built a solid mesh over the subtools and i’m currently projecting it over the subtools. my problem is it created lots of problem areas, i just posted in the help section to see if anyone knows why the zproject brush isn’t working right. i hope i dont have to RESCULPT all those screwed up areas.
anyway, i have a tablet again, working on this. hopefully have a finished render by the end of the weekend.
thansk for the comments btw, when i eventually get it all projected properly ill go and be able to clean up the hair and everything else. one solid sculpture
