Oriental feeling

Hey! Everybody is good! This was my first film model exercise, and I just made a face that I thought had an Oriental feel and was in line with my own aesthetic. The whole body will be made later (I hope she is a cool androgynous girl) Hope you like it and remember thumb up!

Somali Ostrich

Another CG bird project wherein I tried to create a photorealistic and anatomically accurate model of female Somali Ostrich. Hi-detailed sculpting I did in ZBrush. All grooming and scattering works of feathers I used Yeti, the ostrich has real fiber feathers (total count feathers- 9196 and 3427455 fibers) and I didn't use any poly plane feathers. As always, for shading, I used melanin centric Arnold Hair shader with a complex network. Average render time: 8k ~17h.
