Reference Comparison:

This week, I finalized the head sculpt. This took a lot of adjusting to the facial features, and while I would like to push it even closer to the reference, I need to start working on the hair and clothing. I cleaned up the ear and neck areas to prep for retopology, as seen above. Moving forward, I have to create the mouth bag and hair, as those will be important for the head rig.

Research Part 2 - Top 3 Images

 

These are my top 3 images for artist inspiration. The first is the "W.A.S.P." model by Marco Plouffe. I am really drawn to the complexity of hard surface modeling in ZBrush, and I think Marco has some of the best pieces displaying this. In his 'Insectoid' series, he takes design inspiration from various insects, and translates this into mecha variants. I find that these designs have great examples of shape language; the sharpness, and stinger shape of a wasp is repeated throughout this design for example. Each of these models take core features of the insect they are based on and use it as a theme for the shapes.
