Sophie's portrait 3ds max, mental ray, Photoshop, ZBrush July 2008
Hi all,
since lately i've just studied programming-related stuff in my spare time, i decided to resume my wacom and 3ds (it's incredible how rusty i am) and exercise a bit on all those aspects i haven't practised for a long time (modeling/uv/texturing/paint) since i'm doing nothing apart from putting some lights and some comp.
I decided to make a portrait and i started with a starting ref (then completely changed) of a wonderful award-winning picture that was used here in London to promote the National Portrait Gallery. The idea was to portray in a painterly way a sad girl from a while ago, a bit victim of an era she feels too much different from her.
Hope you like it.
