Bust

[parm]

Had a little bit of time on my hands, these past few days.

So. I decided to have a little go at head modelling. It's supposed to be a portrait bust of my wife.

I've reached a point, where I keep fiddling with it. But I am quite pleased with it so far. And since I don't often show stuff. I thought I'd share the results of my efforts so far.

Front and side for now. 3 Quarters and some details to come:

Super work...looks perfect the way it is :thumbsup:

So what does the wife think of it?

Can't wait to see more!

very nice

Kuzey, androidmaker. Thanks :)

So what does the wife think of it?

I think she's a bit fed up, of me scrutinizing details of her face every few minutes.

I'm not sure what to do next with it. I want to give it hair of some sort. Sculpted, or wait for the UB version of Fibre Factory. For a realistic look.

For now here's a 3 quarter view, and a close up of the ear.

Really well modelled... the poly flow is excellent :)

Well modeled Parm. If you're interested, you could cut down on the poly count by weld averaging a few lines on the forhead so that you would have less polys along the top of the head. There's generally not much need for any detail there.

Gorgeous.

Spooky even. (no need to pass that on ...)

Well done, now I am inspired! I am really looking forward to seeing its progress.

I like the flow of the skull geometry dividing above the ears... seems the angle would complement the animation of any jaw movement.

Is it all quads or are there some triangles?

[parm]

Thank you very much, for all the encouraging replies.

I hope to continue work on it this weekend. I've decided to try and go for sculpted hair, ( no other choice really), for now. but my goal, is to learn how to realistically texture skin and hair.

@ Digital Hermit. The eyeball objects have triangles. But the head mesh is all Quads.

Nice model and wires!!!

That looks great. Really nice poly flow.
If you hadn't already said who it was, I would have sworn it was the girl from four weddings and a funeral. (The one with the dyed red hair.)

[Stooch]

looks great. although the eyes remind me of Vladimir Putin a little.

That model is just ridiculously cool.
