WIP - Robert de Niro likeness

Hello all,

I´m doing this likeness for study purposes and it´s still a wip as you can see, but I feel like learning a lot doing this.

I hope you guys like it and comments will be always appreciated
Thank you.

Pretty good. Pretty good! Make that mole bigger and bulge more. Its a big sucker!

I think you´re off to a very good start with mr de Niro. Not sure what pics you´re using for reference but he looks a bit young to me. Perhaps you intend to add more wrinkles etc as you get the base mesh set? Other than that…great start!

Here´s some pics of Robert from 2007

@ Bryan Silva, LOL. thanks man. I´ll look into that.

@ Eonsuu, You´re right, he looks younger because I didn´t want to make another “old man” with all the wrinkles and stuff, so I´ve choosen a younger version of him. Anyway, even younger he has a lot of wrinkles. THank you very much for the pics and tips. :+1:

You’re definitely headed in the right direction. The mouth and eyes in particular jumped out at me as de Niro like, although the eyes look a bit funky still for some reason. Particularly in the inner eye area. The mouth looks right on. Eyes in general are in the middle of the head, yours seem a bit high, or the top of the head seems a bit low, one or the other. Could be the perspective maybe. Skin looks pretty good too. I haven’t even tried to do a likeness sculpt yet. Seems like one of the hardest things of all to attempt…keep it up. Maybe a Taxi Driver type render when your done?

@ fattkid,

Hey man, thanks for the reply. After you said, it´s very clear that the eyes are the problem (not to mention de ear btw). I´m gonna check that out again so I can post some update here.

And yes, likeness sculpt are just hell, but we learn a lot by doing this. It helps me a lot ideed. Just quiting the monsters for a moment… lol

Maybe the hair of the taxi driver will be easier to make… :lol:
And if I put some glasses on him… Problems with the eyes are over… lol

But he looks younger than the one I´m modeling…
So I guess it´s time to choose a path now… lol

This looks soooo good. Wip presentation is great too!

You’ve captured his grin/wince perfectly!!

hahaha :slight_smile:

Its a great job :+1:
