Amazing job! Despair is heart wrenching.

#93

Yeah, despair is brilliant!.. really nice work on all of these!

#94

Amazing work man !! I’m sure Bale would be really moved to see your brilliant work, it’s so realistic.

#95

Man, you really nailed despair! I’ve never felt so bad for a bust, digital or marble! Great work, this thread has been a delight to follow.

#96

Bosh, I’m done. Now time for sleep (it’s 5 am, since I decided I didn’t want to spend another weekend doing it, I thought I’d stay up to get the renders done. Have since learnt lesson.)

For the sake of completeness, I’m posting the final image with all the expressions on here:

There are larger renders of each, the links are in the submissions thread.

Anyway, I’d like to say how much I’ve appreciated the kind words and useful crits from all of you guys throughout this challenge. It really made such a difference, and made the whole thing a lot more enjoyable. I’d have appreciated it more if one of you bastards had spotted the fact that I’d sculpted 16 instead of 15 expressions, as I realised just as I was getting the images together to submit. But I suppose nobodys perfect :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Chris

Glad you got it done, Chris. Your renders are looking good, too. I’m glad you were able to achieve the look you were going for. Hope to see you around in future challenges.

Chris. Awesome finish my friend. Your thread has had me stressing big time! Your work pushed me to try better mine. So I thank you for that. It was an absolut pleasure competing with you.

Yeah, nice work… these turned out great!

Really nice work!

#103

my goodness :buttrock: . you are LOTC
i know nothing is perfect but i can call it perfect!

#104

beautiful work chris. SAD is my favorite. the sculpt and emotions really shine through
in that one for me. you’ve definitely captured bale in the majority of these…that awkward smile he has is definitely present in PLEASURE and PROUD…that kind of stuff is always
the hardest to pull off. again, some of the best 3d modelling i’ve seen in a loooooong time.

cheers,
g

Thanks a lot for the feedback everyone.

@Tyrone - Special thanks to you for taking the time to give everyone crits and encouragement all the way through even though you didn’t enter the challenge.

@Brett - Haha sorry for stressing you out! :slight_smile: But if it pushed you on yours, I suppose that’s the biggest compliment of all.

@Polymaster - Yea you can call it perfect. You’d be horribly wrong, but that’s ok :slight_smile:

@Gio - Your work is inspirational, so it really means a lot for you to stop by here with positive feedback. Thanks.

Cheers,

Chris

hey chris!

-damn. nice finish.
it was a pleasure to see this driven safely home… -so to speak (not sure if it’s a saying in english).
like gio said, you really captured him well in most (not to say all, imo) of these.
“proud” and “pleasure” are by far my favorites, now. great work.
