A tribute to Michael Jackson who had a great impact on my life.

This is a project I am doing as a fan for the fans.
I created the 3D Model, including Look Development and Hair Groom.
Colored version will follow soon.
Some WIP screen grabs in the meantime:
Progress of sculpting the head

Clothing has been started in Marvelous Designer and further detailed in ZBrush.

Hair done with Fibermesh and Yeti.

Clothing textured in Substance.

My talented friend and colleague Jim Su (Game of Thrones, Star Trek Beyond) is doing the face rig, facial blendshapes and body rig.
You can see Jim’s further progress here.
I posed with Jim’s awesome rig.

First displacement tests with V-Ray.

“Final” render of the B/W version (colored version will follow soon).

Soon he shall come back to “life”. Keep your eyes out for further updates …
