Blending life - Old George

@Haker

The head looks really good but the clothes are really detracting from that. You should deform/model some big folds and wrinkles into the clothes. Especially make note of creases that usually happen around the armpit area.

This guy looks middle aged you might get a bald head that perfect on a really young guy but normally I would expect some uneven skin tones and a worse complexion even if it is only slight.

The eye whites are too clean, you should add some slight yellow spotting and maybe some small veins.

The bags under the eyes should be slightly darker than the rest of the skin and it seems the line for the bags is just a bit sharp however, I have seen sharp lines like that but they are usually on older men.

I hope I don’t sound like am nitpicking too much, because this really is great work.

Just puff your cheeks, it looks ridiculous but it works

Thanks for the constructive crit. It really helps to see where the problem lies for that extra step to make it better and more realistic. Thanks for the time you took to write down the c&c. I hope you won’t be offended that I gave this project an permanent rest.

I like the modeling and skin texture in general, the hair looks great too. But as people have pointed out, the eyes would need some more work.

nice job! BB

ps: the clothes seem like they are a mold or something,
try making some 3d noise for them even if a bit

[cekuhnen]

nice one man!

2 things I find to soft
the red in his eye corners
the hair structure of his mustache.

In particular top hair and ears are just terrific!

There seems to be no shadows for some reason. Probably the AO that is the culprit here.

I felt ‘daft,’ got a good laugh, and wanted it for my Facebook picture…

[BigBlend]

Thanks for the comments. I will look up what I can do about the eyes and the facial hair.

This is amazing! how did you do the skin? It looks so realistic! I keep looking around but i can’t find any tutorials for realistic skin like that!

@emesee

u release this

CC-BY?

Now that my piece is in the gallery I need to do some adjustments to the piece. I’ll think about the CC. Cause I want it to be educational if it goes under CC. Cleaning up the blend file and giving right name to right parameter and so on.

looks great, only the eyes look a little bright to me personally

@bigbad"

I’ll call this finished. I wished I finished this on time for the competition but school takes away my blender fun right now.

Cause I didn’t want to take to much time on this project; the eye area has very little work. The eyeballs has no shader and eyebrows is a mess. No eyelashes. One spot light and ambient occlusion.

But I’m still happy with the result. I did a heavy guy with okey skin shading.

100% blender(sculpt,hair,sss and so on) and photoshop(DoF, noise, texture).

Took 5 months from start to finish :D. I had school and other stuff that took my precious time. Nevertheless, 5 months from the first start of a cube to this.

dude how old are you

Really great job. I personally love the expression he has on his face, it makes it feel more real, like someones taking a picture of him and he’s doing a sort of fake/forced smile.

[chip4brains]

WOW! no crits from me, you have captured a moment in existence very realistically. There are far too many subtleties and imperfections in real life people and lighting situations and so on and so on.

You are truly a blender head, and give a big plus for those of us who believe in the strength of BI, it is not just an animation NPR platform, and has far more power than deficiencies if used well in this manner,
and by someone who has accurately observed and rendered their vision of this world.

Thanks for your insight.

[Purple_pills]

there is so much personality in him its wonderful

[renderbots]

that’s an amazing job you’ve done, BRAVO ol’ chap, BRAVO.

[pixflo]

I agree in general , amazing job in modeling and texturing , compliments really.
I’m with guys about eyes too clean and not enough age-signs, but the thing I really don’t like are moustache
