Next Project: Skull woman

I have decided to make a sculpt of this painting by Hugo Richard (http://www.behance.net/hugorichard), I will not be doing a full sculpt and will instead do a bust as that is where the majority of the detail is. I used the Mudbox base bust and a skull base downloaded from the mudbox community.

 

Used this image of facial muscles for reference when editing the base Mudbox bust

I have altered the face to look closer to the painting and removed half of the skull (which I will sculpt further into to show more detail later on)

To do the hair I will most likely create a basic mesh in Maya and then sculpt into it, the extra strands will be planes using alpha maps
