Nassos's Sketchbook

Hey there once more. This is work I’ve been doing for the past days for an ad agency in Greece. Some parts where made in 3dsmax and most where made in zbrush.
Hair where done in zbrush exported in 3dsmax and applied the hair and fur modifier. This is the first time I tried something like this. I think it came out pretty good.
Will post some screens of the process if anyone wants. Render times are between 2 -9 hours depending on the scale of the final image. Vray for everything. cheers C@cs please.

The Woman’s face is fantastic!

Knacki · July 4, 2019, 2:47am

Can’t say that there is too much likeness.
Without assets she would not be easy to recognize.
Mouth region is O.K. (upper lip has sharp triangle in center)but you lost her completely in eye region. (Difficult expression to keep likeness, btw.)
I guess one would still see her eyelid and the triangle form, even in that expression.
More laughing twinkles…yes, they are there
Eyebrows & hair are way too red.
Since she is chancellor, her hair is always kind of…somehow…well…pretty?
Yours is very rough.

For this purpose I would have gone for rounded or squared face, that she naturally has.
She has almost no neck, head always a bit forward, very high shoulders.

Normally, she should be very easy for a caricature, but I was surprised when I tried
She’s not.

Thnx for the kind comments everyone. You are right in every comment, but there is a difficukty for me at least to make someone look like being surprised while in caricature.
I’m not that good probably in the likeness field of sculpting. But I’m learning, as for the hair it’s the first time I’ve tried this process and the result is ok for a first time. next time will be better…

Thanks TomatoVFX

Here are some clay renders of the first two.

the 3rd and last of this series. Here is Obama and an updated better Putin. There are still some pieces to be added in Obama, but ok. Must say I learned a lot form this project. But got reeaaalllyyy tired cause I worked countless hours.
The hair on Obama is a mix of render-photoshop. On Putin is just the render. Obama’s hair was very difficult for me. C&C please

Changes proportions added hair and rendered in max vray. I must say that hair is really difficult for me.
But every time I learn something and hopefully one day will make it perfect.

added pants and muscle detail here and there. The goal is to properly rig him in 3dsmax. Maybe…

I’ve been renovating our home these days and I don’t really have a lot of time to spent.
A third member is coming to the family and I have to prepare the room!
