A project that started out as a semi stylized portrait that turned into a realistic one and also a mess. I don't have much experience with hair grooming and Cycles renderin so HUMAN course was a huge help with those. Overall, it was a humbling experience that dragged on for a bit too long so there's no extensive breakdown or informative renders.
Based on an illustration by Mark Makoyev
ZBrush for sculpting
Blender for retopo, UVs, modeling etc.
Substance Painter for Textures
Substance Designer for some tileables and alphas

What a wonderful job, he looks like an old Russian nobleman and what a job! Bravo!!!
The expression on his face just pulls you in, nicely done.
Thanks :)
So badass. Definitely the work of a wizard. I admire your ability to work with so many different softwares. If i can't do it in Blender I probably won't try. not enough ram in my brain.
Thanks much. On the topic of different software, Blender is well capable of doing all of these things. However, I'm using specialized software for two reasons. One is that they're more efficient at what they do and the other is that I'm more used to them :) That being said, once you understand the fundamentals of whatever it is you're doing, learning new software is just getting to know the locations of buttons, mostly :D
You FINISHED!! And what a finale it is 🤩👏👏
Just...brilliant work
odunov. I definitely want to feature this in my next student showcase. Would you be willing to pack your .blend file and upload to dropbox, google drive or equivalent file hosting service, then email me a download link?
Thank you :D The file is a bit messy. I'll tidy it up a bit tomorrow and upload it. However, I don't know how to find your email address.
Sorry for the code speak. I used to post my address regularly but spam has become considerable.
Looks fantastic! I really love this style. Keep up the amazing work :)
Thank you.

Thanks much! Your interest has been encouraging :) Looking forward to making more stuff and sharing them.
Congratulations, this is incredible work!
