HMC#16 Penguin (Bust)

[spiritmouse]

I've been gotten a lot more busy after taking on another job on top of my freelance work. However, I don't want to give up this great opportunity to do a model of Penguin.
So here it is my start, blocking out the face in maya -

Finished the base mesh in maya, ready to take it into zbrush next:

Fixed the base mesh a little bit to make it less of a smile:

Realized quite some big proportional problem that didn't match the reference after 2 hours into zbrush. Fortunately zbrush is awesome, I can move those geometry in the lowest mesh effortless and keep all the details~ :p
Less than a week now... Still haven't get to hair and stuffs... I need to hurry up.....

Adding in some more details in the face, moving on to the hair next~

time ticking.....
I've tried using hair sim, but I'm really too new to it... so I simply revolved curves in maya for now

I've take the sculpt from zbrush back into maya, and built a base for him

And he got a hat and tie now:

Description:
This is a really great study of facial features and getting the likeness of the face. It was definitely a challenge, yet a fun one. I wished I could have more time to put into it though... especially on the hair and shirt
