Making Of 'Girl's Bust'

Software Used :

ZBrush & Photoshop

When I start a new piece of artwork I always have an extend research period, so I can have some ideas with which to start the modeling process. The main reference for the girl’s bust was a sculpture by Philippe Faraut. My references can be seen in Fig.01.

Fig.01

A general base mesh from ZBrush was used to sculpt the face of the girl. After doing the general volumes, I posed the model (Fig.02).

Fig.02

After posing it, I modeled the accessories and the hair (Fig.03 – 04). To create the hair I used the same process I’d used for my Sailor Girl image. The Making Of for Sailor Girl can be found by clicking here.

I used three materials to render the bust. These can be seen in Fig.05.

After some tests with the blend modes in Photoshop I came up with the composition in Fig.06: Shader – al8 Shader – bgs_marble_4 GW_IronManRed Fill Light Back light Depth of field Fig.06 And here’s the final image (Fig.07 – 09)!
