Flat Cap Chap

MaxPower81 · July 7, 2011, 5:06pm

I’ve been lurking for years now and thought I’d finally participate. This guy is based on a quick little doodle I did at work a few months ago while waiting for some renders. I liked it enough to put it aside to sculpt, and I finally sat down to work on it this week. He could still use a detail pass, but I think this is enough for now. I may build out a whole scene for him after this job when I have more time.

           ...and the sketch he's based on:

  And here's what's left of my sculpting process for this character, up until ZBrush  crashed and took the last third of the recording with it.  I think  what's left is still worthy of sharing though.  Enjoy.

hey man that’s awesome!

I didn’t mean to imply I was just getting started. I’ve been using ZBrush for more than 6 years. Just that I’ve never posted.

Really cool design, both in 2D and 3D, you really nailed the zbrush version … very respectful of the drawing style
Awesome !

Lovely work Max and thank you for exposing yourself.
I suspect this an urban flat cap wearer as opposed to rural?

Really nice character!

Reminds me of Dominique Pinon from Delicatessen, Amelie and Alien: Resurrection fame:

You nailed the style, and I love it.

The sketch is awesome and the sculpt has the same style: really cool character!
Thanks for the timelapse

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Yes Boozie, it’s more urban than rural. The vibe I’m going for is a sort of tough older guy, maybe an ex fighter in his younger days. I have a potential scene I’d like to put him in to see the contrast of this guy in an Italian cafe sipping a tiny espresso with his big meaty hands. So he’s a mix of tough and classy. Hence the scarf and pea coat combined with the set jaw and broken nose.

Zombie, I definitely see Dominique Pinon in him too. I was sort of aware of that as he was evolving and I like the comparison, though I wasn’t going for a likeness.

But really I’m glad you guys like it. I was afraid to post here because I usually don’t share my work like this. Thanks for the warm welcome.

HI! by the way have you considered sub dividing with some sub surface scattering tossed in? That would rule!!!
