Hi, this is my first post on ZBC. :slight_smile:

My name is Tristan Liu, a character artist located in the SF bay area. “Tara” is my latest personal project I’ve been working on these months. The model was sculpted with Zbrush with skin details from XYZ, and rendered in Arnold.
It was inspired by Siwoo Kim’s concept: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/5em2A. Also, I want special thank Chao Dong for the great critiques and feedbacks.

Hope you like it. Cheers!

Fantastic first post Tristan. Exquisite amount of detail in the clothes and skin.

If I may ask some questions. I am subscribed to the YCF-homework portfolio on Artstation. I finally realized that this was a classroom page and not a single artist :wink: so I started looking into how one might take their class.
It is based in China and the auto-translation is a little rough. Did you take this class? Is it an online class? Would it be possible as an English only speaker? I saw a price listed as only 9000. Is that Yuan or a mistranslation?

Appreciate any info you wish to provide.

@Wyatt, thanks! Yes, I took their online workshop last October. It was a great place to share feedbacks and critiques and also kept me away from getting lazy after work. :smiley: So far as I heard, they are preparing the English masterclass, but I don’t think it will happen soon. The currency is CNY.

Dear Mr. Tristan Liu,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am a 3D modeling student, currently building my portfolio for job applications. I have long admired your work and was particularly captivated by your original character design “Tara.” The sculpting detail and texture rendering in this piece are deeply inspiring, and its realistic style closely aligns with the artistic direction I aim to pursue.

I am writing to respectfully ask for your permission to create a 3D model replica of “Tara” for use in my personal job-seeking portfolio. The model would be used strictly to demonstrate my technical skills—such as topology, material creation, and lighting—to potential employers. I assure you this will remain entirely non-commercial; the model will not be sold, licensed, or used in any commercial project.

I would be truly grateful if you would consider my request. Thank you very much for your time and attention.

I look forward to hearing from you. Wishing you all the best in your creative work.
