Fibermesh! Bobby McFerrin Bust (wip)

Heya!
Having a ton of fun getting deeper into ZBrush!

I’m working on a bust of Bobby McFerrin, fantastic singer/composer/conductor
(check http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81uJZIF9TCs and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO_LV-yInc8)

It’s at 18 million points right now… :slight_smile: 9 million without the fibermesh hair.
First time doing something like this, the most challenging parts have been figuring out fibermesh and texture painting.
The main things I’m planning to work on are the eyes, mouth, ears, hairline, individual dreadlocks and the base.

C&C are most welcome!
Dorian

Very nice work :smiley:

Hey Nairod, this is looking really good, especially for somebody new to Zbrush. The fibermesh is also looking great. Have you seen this thread on making dreadlocks?

Figured I’d pass it along in case you missed it. BTW, apparently we have a mutual acquaintance, Edward Liu. He recently started working at my job and introduced me to this thread since I dabble with Zbrush as well.

Keep up the good work!

Very realistic expression!
But his double-fold eyelids need to update.
