Arwen

I did this Arwen likeness, I hope you like it :)
Here are more renders and some breakthroughs: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/L4b6O5

ZBrush, Maya, Substance Painter, Marvelous Designer, XGen, Arnold, Photoshop

I sculpted the bust of Arwen (Liv Tyler in real life) in ZBrush. That was the most fun part, and for it I used many, many references. Then I used XYZ scans for micro detail, and added more texturing on top of it. I did the cloak in Marvelous Designer and ZBrush. Then I created the hair in XGen, which was a bit challenging avoiding intersections between the hair and the cloak. The shading and lighting process was done in Maya, as well as the rendering, using Arnold. I then did a bit of compositing in Photoshop for the final touches. It was hard work, but also very interesting and satisfying!
