Here is Aira and her various facial expressions based on a concept by the incredibly talented Moritz Cremer!
Moritz’s “Young Aira” concept had four expressions that I thought were perfect to use as a study.
I created a neutral expression on my own based on his concepts and used FACS units as a starting point for each of the four expressions.
This was my first time focusing on facial expressions, and I had a blast making them. Learning about FACS and various facial movements has been incredibly useful, and seeing the neutral face emote feelings was a lot of fun.
I had the benefit of receiving feedback from incredibly talented friends and artists during the making of this. Thank you very much to everyone who chimed in when I asked for feedback!
Made using ZBrush, Maya, Substance Painter, Marmoset Toolbag 4, and Photoshop.
Let me know what your favorite expression of Aira is!
thanks for sharing!
My favorite is the bottom left, but the bottom right is a close second!
