Attempt number two

I tried it again, this time trying to portrait Morgan Freeman.
I used a lot less polygons this time, and I skipped the grotesque photo textures.

Portraits and Normal maps

I am practicing using normal maps this summer. Here is my first attempt.
Technically it went quite well. Projecting a normal map from a sculpt was surprisingly painless.
Artistically, I don't know. This was supposed to look like dr Gregory House, but I haven't worked much with portraits before.
I will continue experimenting.

IT'S ALIVE!

I’m doing my best to re-animate this blog and I have done some grave-robbing on my hard drive, finding this old corpse of a project which I tidied up and now present to you.

Spaceman

I've been re-reading the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
