Nosferatu, Sebastian Schoellhammer (3D)

[ivanisavich]

Incredible! The eyes are perfect.

My only complaint is the mouth. You can see that the inside of the mouth is blacker than any other of the blacks in the image, making it look slightly strange. Also, the outline of the teeth is very sharp overtop of that black, while the rest of the image is slightly blurred.

[Dernhelm]

Great render!! Really looks like Kinsky! Amazing expression on the face! Very good lines and textures. Keep it up!

[PascalR]

Great work, his eyes are very expressive! The only thing that catches my eye is the whiteness of the teeth, they could use some color break up and subsurface imho.

Well done:thumbsup:

[msteiner]

Great Render!!
You shoud work more on the teeth shader, it looks a bit wierd.
But simply loved the model

awesome work

[sheb]

Thanks a lot!!
Mmh.. yes. You people are right of course - the mouth is too dark! Let's just pretend it's a view straight into his very black soul (and say nothing about the fact that my monitors gamma is probably a bit off!) I will fix it when I do animation for him though, promise!

[notec]

Hey mate! Great work you did! Really impressive! Congrats and look forward to seeing the update.

[joana]

WONDERFUL!


(I recognized Klaus Kinski immediately)

[K0mba]

Very good , expression is great , and animation coming soon... :bounce:

[sylvexan]

This character reminds me the actor Marlon Brando from "Apocalypse now" movie.
Great work!!:)

[Neutrino]

Superb!!! :buttrock:

[AJ]

Brilliant work Sebastian - it's great to see him again! :D

[KIDI]

Great work, i love the eyes and the face :love:

[DruG]

Wow, he looks great! I love the eyes.

[PhuongDPh]

great work!
I really like it
@ivanisavich: I agree with the mouth
but maybe it is what sheb wanted

[PapaNinja]

Impressive ... like his expression.
Kinski HAD a big mouth ;)

[Mathias]

Matthias: I wish I could come but I doubt they'll send me this year :/ Beers sound too tempting..

AJ: thanks!! how's the jewelery going btw. heh. ;)

And thanks to all the others. I'm posting a wire, the zbrush model and one shot of the lighting environment. Hope it helps!

[Robroach]

f*** me, this is awesome work. I can't stop looking at it. You gave him a lot of personality, you can clearly see he brushes his teeth twice a day. :D

[threedsquid]

awesome work i like the wetness in his eyes..
just visited your website, the side view is looking great also!

[milannnnnnnn]

really nice work

[ektho]

His eyes shine of vitality! This is really strange for a vampire!:applause:
Great work!

[Goor]

Ohhh this is perfect. The Skintexturing is perfect. And the Eyes are nothing Dead , there is Life in the eyes and this is perfect.

[KrakenCMT]

Now THIS is a portrait! It's got emotion and detail. Really impressive stuff.

[astitchintime]

Incredible! To get life in eyes is a massive task but you have nailed it big time!

You've portrayed him perfectly!

The teeth and inner mouth do look like someone has vandalized your renders which is why I've ignored it lol.

Checked out your site and portfolio...you sir are a huge talent :buttrock:

[Stahlberg]

Excellent!

[phoenix]

Very very nice


Regards

[karko]

I think your interpretation is very expressiv, very near of movie!
And, also, for the black inside of the mouth, the teeth too white and clean, they accentuate the expression.
But, to the contrary, your character seems to me too pictural: more 2D picture than realised in 3d. And I think it a few too sweeten for this character...

[Ghenrii]

great work!
congratulations

[zokana]

A perfectly done Kinski portrait! His meaty lips are greatly captured. I can hardly believe that the material of the cape is correct, but nonetheless an exceptional piece, excellent indeed! :thumbsup:

[Jettatore]

Outstanding, I love it. Looks a bit like Herzog's Nosferatu, my favorite.

[MFTituS]

finally you are back.you have been travelling a long way as i see - the same goes for your art. a very strong piece. i love his expression. just his nose is a bit too sleek for my taste...

[KolbyJukes]

excellent work Sebastian, always loved this model.

[rabieart]

superb ..amazing :bounce:

[trungpad]

You have greatly presented the melancholy of the character!

[Intervain]

great stuff - I agree with Pascal about the teeth but that's a minor point - sweet model

[Zeoyn]

A very well deserved award! :D
Congratulations!

[vikhyath47]

amazing expression and render . killer.

[Henry23]

Great work! I hope to create my own soon and present it here too. Thanks for inspiring.

[mattsmith_55]

Awesome!
Yeah tweak your monitor up little...I guess your intention was to have darker blacks across the whole image? the funny thing is that having a slightly washed-out grade gives it an aged photographic look that's really nice...maybe lift the mouth rather than drop the rest of the image?

now if the background was graded a little more teal.......

; )

[Nethermind]

Can't wait for the behind the scenes pics. Great work, love the wet eyes.

[sheb]

Kolby: Ah thanks. Well you made me do it in a way ;) What happened to Sinister Circle?! Too busy?
Titus: Oh, looong time no speak. Great work on the Settlers! :)

Thanks to all the others too, very glad you like it (and have mercy on the white brushed teeth ;) ).

About the eyes, what really helped was modeling out the tear line to catch the reflection there. I attached a picture to show.
Also what I forgot to say before but the eyelashes/brows are done with maya hair - especially the lashes seem like a subtle addition but helped a lot in the end.

[LRussell]

Nice image though Im just curious as what compositing process you used in your pipeline, photoshop or shake or nuke?

[egselent]

Really good. The lips give it a very creepy feel for some reason!

[ChewyPixels]

Top-notch work! The likeness is spot on and the eyes are just perfect. :bowdown:

I'm not going to mention what has already been pointed out but I would like to add that I think it could use maybe 25% less grain. Again, it's a very minor crit and regardless a job well done! :D

[JulianJohnson]

Great looking image well done. really the details and the waterly eyes :thumbsup:

[mfiorilli]

It's absolutely fantastic.. I completely love it ! I've just take a look at your online gallery and it's very very inspiring.

I also agree with ivanisavich (http://forums.cgsociety.org/member.php?u=19108).

[Mendocino]

Excellent portrait, excellent work technically and esthetically!

[aradarena]

very nice :scream:

[EricMcFly]

Incredible work! This looks indeed like Klaus Kinski. Love the level of detail, especially the
eyes. Thanks for posting "wire and zBrush" pictures, really appreciate that.
Looking forward to your next work.

Cheers

[javiermolina]

Very nice work. I like it. the expression of his eyes is amazing!!!

[TheDistiller]

Really nice work, man. His facial expression is spot on.

[Flo]

great model ...well done seb !

kinski and vampires are a winning combo, love both of them (:

[ysvry]

Fantastic work, I recognized Klaus Kinski immediately, this is one of my favorite films too. With this model they could make a sequel nospferatu in new york wee he's draining the blood out of wall street f.i. lol.

[AnimAitor]

Great image sheb! Getting that look on the eyes is pretty hard and you nailed it!! I wonder how you manage to get time to do such beautiful artwork while working in Japan ;P Thanks for sharing this, very inspiring!

[ShenRui]

what a great work!

[el hacha]

Superb details, excellent modeling!

You have totally reached this. Great job!

great work! kinski is the ultimate subject!!

[vikiyeo]

I didnt know that this Great art is yours. And you work with me. Ha. Small world. Good job :)

[Dottonedan]

Incredible! The eyes are perfect.

My only complaint is the mouth. You can see that the inside of the mouth is blacker than any other of the blacks in the image, making it look slightly strange. Also, the outline of the teeth is very sharp overtop of that black, while the rest of the image is slightly blurred.

Your only "complaint" ? 1st, you say "your only complaint" and then go on to say "ALSO", the outline...ugh. This art is fantastic. It's down right flawless. For someone to search out something to "talk about" is not helpful. Nothign wrong with the mouth and who even see's a "outline on the teeth? Sheeesh. The rest of the image is slightly blurred to have less impact and add focus on the teeth.
