trying to recover modelling skills

hey guys. don’t post often here… I havn’t done much for the past few months, so finally i sat down and did some modelling. I must say, my modelling skills were not up to par after months of inactivity, but anyhow, here is my latest work. and my first attempt at a “real” looking head.

note: the head is modeled in half, and mirrored, thus the black line on his neck and the strange point on his chin. also, his eyes are not done, so i stuck glasses on. lol. a quickie.

C&C appreciated
thanks

update: worked on the eyes.

The face is far too toonish looking to be realistic. In example the cheekbones are far too visible and jaw line looks more like a charicatyre than real wide jaw. And then there is the eye holes, which make him look like he’s been starving for weeks.

Don’t take this in the wrong way, for a first realistic attemp this is light years better than my first feeble tries. Very good indeed. :smiley:

But i think it looks like An Agent from the Matrix…

keep up the good work

Thanks for the comments guys. Hippie: don’t worry. If all i wanted was encouragement, i would go to a clinic for the insecure or something.

anyway, i tried to fix the cheekbones, re-did the eyes, made the eyesockets shallower, played with the jaw (still needs work though) and a few other minor tweaks.

oh yes. that ugly eye texture is just something i threw on for visualization. later, i will do the “real” eyebal thing with the modeled lens and all that crap.

c&c still wanted.

i think the last update is an improvment from the other. Good job!

try to fix the thing on the chin/nose/neck…It detract from the head lol

Also try to make the top of the head more smooth, we see the edge at the moment.

It seem there is some mesh problem around the mouth, maybe try to fix that.

It’s coming along nicely, keep it up! It will be Grrrreeeat! :smiley:

no wait! DARKEN THE FIRST IMAGE! it looks just like morpheus! add a texture, make it darker, and voila!

Two Words: JUDE LAW

You know that guy from Enemy at the Gate, Gattaca, the robot man whore of AI, and the Talented Mr. Ripley. An insane resemblance, minus the hair.

hey another update. a few tweaks here, not happy with the eyes… but i got a little bored of the lighting in my testrenders, so i threw in some different lamps. i think he looks better in this light. :stuck_out_tongue: :wink:
