Looking promising there. I really like your progress and can’t wait to see this. Definitely my fave for this challenge.
I hope you don’t mind but I followed your lead and did a creature head aswell. I decide to do Jack Black as future project instead.

Keep up the good work.

Man, my nieces loved and we’re still watching and laughing with the facial expression of the singing monster =) Maiyahiii maiyahaa…! haha that was hilarious!

Thanks for the encouragement everyone, I am glad you like him.

VShen: Glad to have inspired you a bit, have fun with your entry! :slight_smile:

Turx: Thank you, I am glad your niece got a kick out of him.

I am calling the model and displacement maps done for now. A little more desymmetrisation and cleanup was done. I felt some areas were getting a little too busy. Moving on to doing some first expression tests!

#33

I love the way u use zbrush, there looks very fine and clean. I think i will redo my art work.

#34

Haha I really love it :slight_smile: Awesome. Should be really funny seeing some expressions on that guy.

Someone mentioned ealier that the upper eyelids could be thicker. I think that’s a good spot, I was sitting there going nope can’t see anything worth fixing on that, but I think that could help a bit.

It’s a tiny detail on an amazing sculpt though.

#35

That’s a great model. Lots of potential for interesting expressions.

#36

I can’t believe I’m posting these… I cast myself in the role as Tom the Troll. Here are the reference images for the chosen expressions. Oh dear…

hehe you’d make a good animator Jelmer with that range :wink: contempt is my fav :scream:

#38
