A stylised head sculpt, based on a LARP character - Edgar Molesworth, a telegraphier from the wild west. It’s a semi-self portrait, trying to emphasise the features that I imagine the character as having. I’m really pleased with this - it feels like an appealing and memorable character face, the pinched features and shape language emphasise the character, and he has just the right expression of ‘slightly-startled-sweetheart who means well but is a bit out of his depth’ that the character represents.
The texture is still a work in progress. I used SoMuchDiffuse again, then went back in and painted more colour variation into the face - red nose, blue-grey stubble area, etc. I played with layers, curvature and lighting to get quite a striking look that I’m really pleased with. I’m planning on going in and handpainting, and the hair/moustache/hat/eyes haven’t been looked at yet, so they’re still a bit plasticky.
