The big ol’ divot in his forehead is a seam in the normal mapping; I’ll have to see if I can fix that. Worst case scenario, I clone it out in photoshop.

Saturday’s was a picture of Cerebus the Aardvark that no one needs to see, but today’s Frazetta came out better. At least the lady did. The cats look stupid.

Just the normal maps. Which took me days, because I forgot how to do them. I’m not totally happy with the results, burt most of the things I don’t like will be covered with hair, so I guess it’s okay.

Anyway, of special interest is the fact that, due to my mixing up my materials, he’s wearing his head normals as a print on his suit. This is highly ahistorical, but looks hella snazzy.

I’m surprised that Patrick Stewart has never been tapped to play Lincoln; because either I did something wrong, or he’s a ringer. Sure, the accent would be a problem, but if  he can play a Frenchman, he can play an American.

Next: eyes, hair, and trying to make his clothes look less like rubber.

Complete with cool hexagonal base!

I’m having a bit of trouble rigging my zombie hunter, so I’m taking a  break to model a Civil War cannon. Figuring out all the bits and bobs on the carriage from blurry period photos is taking a bit of doing, but I like that sort of thing.

My life, every day, basically.

I can think of more details to add, but I’m sick of her. Gonna move on to some other part of the image, and come back to her when it’s time to bring it all together.
