So I really wanted to practice my facial modelling skills before starting on the face/head for my original character for ITGM 333. One of my all-time favorite films is Hayao Miyazaki's もののけ姫 (Princess Mononoke), and my favorite Ghibli character has to be Prince Ashitaka.
Translating the iconic Ghibli style to 3D is something I thought would be a challenge, so I decided to model a bust of Ashitaka.
I started out with some really quick and simple orthographic sketches to get me started:
Here is what I have so far. Getting the face shape and eyes right have proved to be the most difficult parts!
The hood, hair, and brows are just placeholders for now to help visualize the character better. I'm rendering a lit turntable now to evaluate where needs tweaks.
I'm now going back and readdressing the jawline and cheek areas per some great crits by my amazing character modeller friend :)
