I just wanted to show this new character but not publish as yet, since its without a body! Its the beginning of a new piece following a concept, with approval from the original artist. Im taking this one in sections to isolate and work slowly through the piece for the quality im after, a near photo real yet real time. I hope im being successfully so far!
This is rendered in marmoset, firstly created in zbrush, as a sculpt from a sphere, then texture xyz maps added, and finally retopo in maya before texturing in sub painter while rendering in Marmoset.
Hope you like it so far, next step, the body!
