Look Dev

I'm going to start posting my WIP more as I find it to be the most interesting aspect of any artistic blog. I've chosen to do a concept by Mike Wrobel. An incredibly talented artist who has done a series of 80's and 90's themed pieces for Game of Thrones. I've chosen to recreate Theon Greyjoy as a 3D piece for my Look Dev class at Gnomon.

Concept by: Mike Wrobel

Base Mesh

Base created in Maya 2015

I established a base mesh for my sculpt using a front and side ortho of Theon's head in order to save time when it came down to sculpting. Getting as close to a likeness as possible before jumping into ZBrush.

 Reference

Of course when working on likeness, gathering as much reference as possible always helps! I tried to collect as many references with different angles of Theon's face as I could.

(WIP)

The first challange I've come across is getting likeness for Alfie Allen. Still working on getting the overall anatomy down for Theon before adding any micro detail. I found working too long on a piece in one sitting can end up hurting a design. Giving yourself a fresh eye on something you've worked on for so long helps immensely!
