Thank you arthurduque.
Some changes for the likeness, more hair and less sss. No pp, frame and levels only. And a BW with some more pp overlay
Hi Michalis
Really been enjoying these last couple of sculpts of yours…Very inspiring…gives me something to shoot for with my own works.
Keep up the GREAT progress…

I think your rendering and presentation are good, but the modeling itself could really use some work IMO. The fat doesn’t feel organic or look smooth. To me that’s the biggest thing you could improve on; the base sculpt. The creases, fat, and fat folds need to look softer and more realistic.
But I do like the presentation, including your texturing, shading and rendering.
Just my 2 cents, hope you don’t mind.
Thanks SD, you’re talking about modern heros, here’s one of mine.
Thanks tobbeo, you’re right. Its this realistic approach that makes me mad sometimes. Never a close friend of photoreality. I prefer some simple classic clay sculpture. Eyes, hair etc I find them boring. But its interesting and difficult.
I fixed something here, I resculpted a little in blender, too late for zb now. Sorry for my english, what does it mean ‘my two cents’?
Here one more, no pp.
My 2 cents is just an expression for “it’s just my opinion”. I do like your piece and I think you have refined it well throughout this thread. It’s tough to get fat folds looking naturally but I’m sure you’ll get better and better with each model.
And overall, I think it’s a good image! You have a good artistic eye!
I love it! great work on the hair and clothes as well
Thanks cherub_rock, but not so great work on the hair and the skin I’m afraid. Blender is a fine app but not well documented. SSS is a mess for me, I really can’t master it. I have to discover America again, alone :lol:
I spent more time to setup this in blender than in sculpture - retopo - textures.
This doesn’t make me a better artist, or it does?
Sculpture is what I like to do, rendering methods etc are quiet boring for me… But we need them and I have difficulties there. An almost newbie here.

Love the greek stuff. Keep goin with that
Thanks.

very nice render michalis. also love the communication that is going on in the image.
so, do the gods now finally talk to each other again?
Great sculpt -> those ZBrush renders you’re doing are really good!
Thanks julian,
I’m not sure if these were real gods, rather functions of the human existence to me. Iliad and Odyssey have something to say about it, Picasso too. Aphrodite is a silly and beautiful girl, not a nude portrait of a woman. This makes composition more simple.
Some very cool stuff here.
