Shaham's Art Blog - Portfolio Projects (3D)

Hi,
I'm Shaham, a 3d game artist. I make characters mostly.
Gotta fill out my portfolio so I'm making a blog.

I was working on this bust here before the floods struck.
The concept is by Kienan Lafferty from the KNKL show.
Critiques are always welcome

Welcome to the forums.

If you don't mind a little critique, The head anatomy needs some work. I recommend using a skull and some real faces as reference. Things that stand out are the lips and the cheek bones.
I feel you did a good job with the eyes and the nose. The skins is good and the materials work so far.
Keep up the good work.

I'm gonna have to second that as well. Initially I was gonna say the cheek bones were fine, but that as only after seeing the concept and model in 3/4 view. When you have it colored there is lump where a cheekbone would be then a dip then the rest of the cheek. Because the concept is so incredibly stylized there's not too much I can say. That also gives you the freedom to exaggerate some features so I wouldn't dwell on anatomy as much , but I would still make sure the silhouette reads well.

Thanks for the comments guys I appreciate it!
I'll just say that I'm aware of the weird shape of her head and cheeks but I was trying to stick real close to the concept which is very stylized. Also I guess I should mention she has no maps applied to her (no normal, gloss etc) I've just slapped on basic shaders.
I'll be editing the model later down the line if something really really bothers me. For now here's an update. I've started on the hair cards, the bane of every game artist's existence -
