The Bearer Of Victory
IT
Since I don't have much time to play games lately (and quite frankly it's way too hot to do so when you don't have AC but can only rely on a fan which tends to throw warm air at you most of the time), I thought I could finally start uploading my own stuff here as well not to leave Flickr neglected (and because in the end I don't think it's bad to just showcase what you do).
I found out about DAZ Studio little over 10 years ago, but I never really managed to use it properly until it got better with more beautiful characters, high quality textures, etc. Last year I decided to start taking commissions and build up a portfolio for professional purposes, so I started to create my own characters with aditional sculpting in ZBrush, retexturing and clothes making. This little piece here is from October (Halloween) and it was obviously a tribute to the remake of IT. I've never been fond of horror movies, but I must admit I quite like the new version of Pennywise.
Long story short I used Genesis 3 as base, played around with some installed morphs to get a nice starter shape and then heavily sculpted over his head using Bill Skarsgard's movie photos as reference. I'm not sure I got his creepy smile 100% right, but I tried. The clothes were also quite challenging because I've never made anything so detailed before in Marvelous Designer and now that I managed to learn even more about the program I can see a lot of mistakes here. The hair was just a quick work with the particle system in Blender Cycles, nothing particularly hard to do nor elaborated. I am currently starting to create my own hair meshes though, so I'll definitely rework this one and polish the model in general at some point.

Usually I tend to do video game characters mostly, but I'm trying to expand my repertoire to improve my skills (and because I have a few important future projects in mind) and be able to reproduce real people as well one way or another.
