Reply To: [ENDED] BC2-1803 – March 2018 Class Homepage – Creating Stylized Characters with Blender

Homework submission Week 1

My caricature of Ian McKellen. @malhomsi  and @jakeblended got it right. I plan to continue and refine the render and maybe also do Patrick Stewart from the reference image. In the past I have had trouble getting a likeness out of a sculpt so I was pretty happy with this one as I felt I was able to capture a likeness. Retopoing the sculpt really helped push the stylization as I can experiment with shape keys to enhance features non destructively.

For the concept art I plan to use @timvonrueden great Earth Elemental concept art.

I may also do this concept art from Kenny Jeong if I can find the time.
