after developing the concept, i decided i wanted to bring Dolores to life.
experimenting with blender hair curves
first tryout
after a semester, picking up dolores again and scoping back the project to just a head shot - for now
makeup blockout
first hair cards tryout
figuring out skin shader
trying to get the face to look right without the makeup getting in the way
slapping makeup back on top
fixing normal map artifacts, realising hair shader mistakes and value mistakes
final look in unreal engine
face sculpt made in zbrush and textured in marmoset
face sculpt made in zbrush and textured in marmoset
there’s still more to come for this project: when i’ve got time i’d love to bring it from just a frontal face to full head and groom, bust, waist-up and full-body stage, one after another
