Hello Artist! What a lovely day!
My name is Heesoo (or Eva)
I just released my first full-figure 3D character, Imperator Furiosa from the amazing film, Mad Max: Fury Road.
I chose her because I always get inspired by strong female characters. I love how she is so determined to achieve her goals reaching ‘The Green Place’ in her story, while acting both as guardian and leader as well.
Furiosa’s design is also another reason I chose to model her in 3D as she has many interesting elements: leather, metal, fabrics and face painting. I love how her design entails her story as pioneer in her story with such tattered looks. Also always loved steampunk, or cyber-punk aesthetics.
I had two initial goals for this project. Firstly, learning the whole process of the pipe line with this project and secondly, getting the likeness of the character as much as possible. And I am pretty satisfied with the outcome as first serious project I ever worked on 3D modeling programs.
I learned many things from this project and some of the useful tips I can share are
- Working with black and white reference.
It helps creating appropriate volume and space because the contrast/brightness is more clear with black and white reference. So I have painted base model using black and white reference and used color reference when I painted the model. - Making buzz cut hair.
Making such short hair that Charlize Theron had in the movie with Card Mesh was difficult. So I looked up tutorial about hair cap, and used both method. Hair Cap is great for creating very natural looking baby hair on the very edge of the hairs. It is hard to notice because of the face paint, but you can see it on the back of her neck smiling_face
And I heard that they are making prequel on Furiosa and I am so excited!
I wish it was acted out by Charlize Theron but regardless I am still looking forward about it.
Feel free to leave any comments or ask about the project.
