I was working on this for a WIP and have made a couple of real ones as gifts, so here is a whirligig for you Wenna. Hoping that at a time of gravity, a little folly can help to lift the spirits
Iāve seen you are up and about, Wenna. Hope you are feeling better and are on the mend.
This subject is very close to me right now as my father is in a similar situation. He is getting better but is still in a lot of pain due to a secondary problem. He received a card the other day, which I borrowed and tried to replicate as best I could. BTW it is suppossed to be a giraffe slouched in a couch.
Tech: Only one light, every surface has its own āToonā type material. Chair made from 5 cube3ds, marked on the canvas and converted via a smooth unified skining. Giraff made with Zspheres. Text made by importing grayscales of the text and applying it to Plane 3Ds, text plane shadows are simply transformed text planes.
Only preview rendering used, as best renderer blurs/ignores all toon material edges(black). Final image resized (Ctrl+0) from 1000*1600 canvas size.
Cheers Wenna, glad to see you back
Hi there Wenna, hereās something to keep you in good spirits - an all ZBrush portrait of yourself, looking fit as a fiddle!
I spent an enjoyable week-end making and painting this ZBrush model of you, using your photo from the gallery as a reference guide.
I was inspired to do it after seeing Ed the Atomās fine study of Ron Harris.
Hereās how the ZBrush modelled head and glasses looked before I started the 2d paint work.
I am glad that you are feeling better now, and wish you well for the future. I hope the painting does you justice, Wenna - my graphics tablet isnāt working, and I had a tricky time of it using a mouse.
Regards,
Rob
