Congratz on Top Row! Showed these latest to my youngest son (age 9); instant connection! (he seemed to recognize some of his friends/classmates too…) His favourite (and mine) is the yawning sleepyhead! :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: !

Wonderful characters and expressions!:wink:

#167

Thank you all for all these wonderful compliments, makes me wanna start sculpting right away :D.

drkdve - haha, thanks, that made me laugh :lol:

Etcher - I’m glad your son liked the yawning boy, I’m always happy if children like my work :slight_smile:

#168

Some cool stuff you have here! very inspiring material… Congrats!:+1:

#169

I love your forms and detail! Its like the most life-like exaggerated character I have seen. I feel your work represents high caliber traditional drawing. I can’t begin to explain how much I enjoy your work. I would be very interested in watching a time lapse of your next work.

Huge fan! I am bookmarking this.

Once again so lovely work on those kids and their expressions, but can I ask please, how do you go about shading and rendering them with that nice clay render look and lighting?

Cheers

#171

Yesss, top row, well deserved!

Congrats on your fantastic modeling skills.

Wish you had the time to texture and render them in color.

#172

Thank you for your nice comments! :slight_smile:

Aberrant - Thanks a lot :smiley: I’m planning on capturing the next one, i hop i can find time for that soon.

Darukin - Sorry for the late answer, but since i got a little bit of help with those renders, i had to ask dan about the details. The material is just a simple blinn, with a bit of reflection blur. For the lighting A hdri was used with the color gain down to about 1/3rd, and 2 directional lights to match up the hdri. Also for reflective light a bright plane was put in front of her, which only illuminates a bit. Also a background plane, which is just background color. The shadows are raytrace shadows, nothing special about those, and finally the GI and FG settings are almost kept the default, for the FG point density was 2, and point interpolation 15. I’m not a render pro, I’m sure it could have been done better, but till i can lay my hands on some good tutorials about portrait lighting, i think it has to do it for now :slight_smile:

Thanks again everyone :)!Picture-3.jpg

Great sculptings! Congrats!

#174

Hey thanks for the lighting overview mikkamakka! No worries, on the contrary, it was a fast reply!

And hey, looking forward to new works by you, and timelapses, so get working on your new projects! =)

#176

It seems like some of the best sculpts are those that look like real sculptures. These are so cool.

I love the sculpted eyes!
