Portrait Study

For some time I wanted to dive more into making hair, I played around with fibermesh before in ZBrush but nothing made it into my actual portfolio yet. While browsing I stumbled across this sketch of Viktor Titov and just immediately loved the colors and overall style of this particular sketch (but all of his stuff is awesome, check him out!) and decided to give it a try :)

Since my last project involved super heavy post-process, I set myself the challenge this time to take it how it is out of Blender without touching anything in Photoshop afterwards (Except adding my signature). So I set this scene up and rendered everything in Eevee.
The amount of lights i used is ridiculous, but I wanted to get as close to the reference as possible and just have fun with it.

I did the sculpting and hair in zBrush, made a retopo in Blender, baked some Maps with Marmoset, set up the light and rendered in Eevee. Et voilá - here it is :)
