Hi there,
Here is a wip render of a Beethoven portrait I am working on.
All modeling done in Mudbox, base mesh by Oglu, textures done in Mudbox2011 and Photoshop, rendered with Renderman.
I am now going to focus on the eyes shading and textures.
And also some time lapse vids I did while sculpting his face.
Cheers,
Pascal

Beethoven had a hard life and you’ve certainly captured the tortured genius look.
Looking at the series of images, it appears as though you’ve been making his chin/jawline smaller and smaller, it looked better in the earlier versions. Also on the colour, he looks a bit too tanned and weather-beaten for someone who probably spent most of his life in a darkened candlelit room playing the piano It’s a bit heavy on the sss redness in places, and still a bit waxy.
I’m sure you’ll nail it in the end though, judging by your other work.

I wish there was a video of the texturing phase of this scuplt. The skin texturing is spectacular…
