Background<\/h3>\n

Hello! My name is Gabriel Fernandez. I’m from Brazil, and have worked as a freelancer for about 4 years. I specialize in characters, and now I’m focusing more in stylized hand painted characters. I participate in some cool projects like the animation Petty Lee<\/a> and the board game Tang Garden<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Choosing the concept<\/h3>\n

For this work, I wanted to do a hand painted style, but something different, like a real painting. So, while I was looking for the concept, I was imagining how it would look good on Sketchfab, when you turn the model.<\/p>\n

Georgi Georgiev’s art<\/a> is amazing, and definitely the best choice I could make. I really like the way he depicts hair.<\/p>\n

Modeling<\/h3>\n

I did almost everything in Zbrush, except bases and details, like the cup, which I made in 3DS Max. I wasn’t concerned about the topology on this work because the focus was to show what I can do artistically.<\/p>\n

I didn’t spend too much time on details, but did focus some attention on the folds of the clothes, thinking of the Occlusion maps that I would generate after. After all the pieces were done, I started to pose using the transform tools. It’s a good and quick way to pose characters. Also, I always used a spotlight with some opacity, to match the concept with the model.<\/p>\n

For the hair, I started with the fringe. I did one plane with thickness, then copied it and arranged the copies to stick closely to the concept.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
