A slow start for me but at least heres the concept sketch. Im going for a slightly different take on this challenge, but its open for interpration I hope.

Here's a render so its easier to see the geometry. Im trying to get a fragile and sad look for my character so lots to do still. Im using LW and ZB for the record.

Nice start with the modeling! What's he holding in his hand?

[Breuer]

Hey Gunilla

Thanks. He's holding a glass of pills, and staring into the mirror.

new update on face

[hobo]

Good head. Reflection through a window?

[dobermunk]

That's some hot polygons, you got there!
crit: I think the concept would come across stronger if instead of holding the bottle in his palm (bottle could be on sill of mirror), he's holding a pill between finger and thumb. Its one step closer to the action and presents his thoughts more directly in connection with what he's about to do... my 2 cents.

[Breuer]

Thanks for the comments guys.

Hobo : No, hes looking at himself in the mirror, holding a bottle of pills.

Dobermunk : I like your idea, I might give that a go. I'll take a look at my sketch and see what can be done and if it works. Thanks for that.

Giving him a more rounded face now. Trying to give an everyday, ordinary look to his face. Anonymous and slightly boring.

Cool working! I like this head, very good :thumbsup:

[Clorets]

Good modeling, as for the concept, i also like better Dobermunk's idea.

[Vedic-kings]

Nice ZB work!

[gpepper]

The design of your character is cool !
We want to see more !

[Nothingness]

just love the head modeling!

it's defenitly one of the hard things to do.
I'm strugling myself to get this right.

You can always give me some crits of you're an expert on this.

And did you model this entirely in z-brush or something?
I just model them in maya to get the topology right, and
then ajust them in zbrush to get the emotion i need.

I even created an old man out of a female head. How bad can you get :cool:


good luck on the challenge
