    Default 3d Jam #4: The Crow - Athidi


    Here is my wip for Bust a Move.

    Im going to make a bust of Brandon Lee's character The Crow.
    without the coat

    was thinking like this :



    maybe in the pose that The crow is most known from this one. Except with with some more clothes on. :P



    And here is the final image

    I did some changes on the height of the forehead.
    I also made a timelapse video that is on youtube togheter with a turntable.

        here is an update..

        Ive timelapsed everything, I can put it out on youtube when I'm done.

        What I first did was to start sculpting on the basemesh I made out of zsperes.. then I did a retopo and continued to sculpt..

        this is how far Ive come.. the hardest thing was to get the shape of the face correct, I cant really tell if it looks like brandon lee without the hair.. It is also very hard to find a good reference without the makeup..

        but I think it will be easier when the hair comes in.. its going to be really hard to make the hair, it always looks like its wet, and its a bunch of single straws.

        wish me luck :P

        be kind in your critiques please, this is still early in the process and I'm sure there is plenty of thing to complain about.

            thanks I will keep it up.

            personaly I thought it was to early to tell his age without smoothing out things and hair. I use claytubes to try locating the volume I want, It might leave some unwanted wrinkels :P

            here it is with a temporary hair

                        thanks I wanted to do the guitar.. but several people have suggested that I dont.. I dont know why, but it seems that the guitar is a turnoff for them.. :P Ill think about it..

                        here is the latest progress.. Ive added a gravestone, some dirt and the bust in the bottom.. Ive fixed more on the face, used some polypaint and fixed up in small issues...

                        enjoy

                        still temp hair :P
