Digital Sculpture

Week 1

Labeled Diagram of a Female (left) and Male (right) skull

Main Differences between a Male and Female skull are:

- Superciliary arches (blue) are much more pronounced on the male skull

- Gonial Angle (orange) is more acute, closer to 90°, on the male skull

- Males tend to have a more defined jawline while Females tend to have a softer jawline

- Males skulls also have a much steeper frontal bone

Very first attempt at sculpting a face

Week 2 - Nose

Labeled Diagram of the nose

The Nose is mostly made up of the cartilages labeled above, with the bone only making up a small proportion of it. The bone sets the initial shape of the nose, with the rest determened by cartilage and fats.

Nose Practice Sculpt

Nose Final Sculpt

For my final sculpt I made sure to make the nasal bone more prominant to make sure the nose looked like it was a part of a bigger skull.

Week 3 - Mouth

Marionette Lines appear where the upper and lower lip meet.

The construction of the lips is obvious on images of babies as they have only just formed

ZBrush Mouth Sculpt

Week 4 - Ear Sculpt

Week 5 - Eye

Eye Practice

Eye Final

Eyeball Maya Render

Iris Colour

Iris Bump

Sclera Colour

Sclera Bump

Using simple textured spheres in Maya you can create convincing realistic eyeball.

For the Iris first create a sphere and remove the back half of it. Then use soft select to flatten the front of the sphere. Add the texture and bump map and align them using UV mapping.

For sclera you can use a sphere with the front slightly enlarged using the soft select tool, then add the textures and fade them out using a ramp on the transmission

Villian Moodboard

For my villain, I am doing a High Elf as I thought working on the ears would be interesting. He should have chiseled features and the classic elf ears.
