WIP sculpt .

Just started this little bust sculpt, and for once I'm not doing anything from my mind but instead taking inspiration from someone elses' art! It feels great and it's very fun to be inspired by something and try to translate that painting to 3D while still keeping my own style to it.
Atm she's just a WIP though.

Freja finished model !

I finished my Freja-model last friday, had been working on her quite a while actually but since I haven't had the time to fully commit to her it took longer than I would have wanted. But now she's finished, and I am quite happy with the result.
I had so much trouble with painting the fur-texture, I was supposed to use the AO and cavity map from the high-poly model to paint the texture for the low-poly, but the fur on the high-poly model somehow didn't translate well AT ALL to the AO or any other map for that matter. I didn't want her to have realistic fur since I was going for a stylized style so the fur on the high-poly was more chunky to resemble chunks of fur. On the maps it just looked like weirdness though, so I ended up just painting the fur without the maps. Glad I did that, because it turned out much better!
