I will start out the thread with the following dude. I think he has character ... 
I will call him Dave, just because he reminds me of a musician I met ... cranky guy. Plays a pretty decent harmonica though.

    THAT'S a render?

    It looks like colored pencil.  I love the wonderful imperfection of his face and expression.

    Well done.

    I especially like the lower eyeslids. Did you sculpt that or use displacement maps or similar?

    Daveso, your 'Dave' looks excellent, even if he looks like he overdid the NYE celebrations!

    I just threw together a character to go with an outfit (a freebie by Cherubit, over at Rendo). She's based on G8 Cassandra (50% body and head), with a little of Carmelita (25% body) and a mix of other character morphs. Skin is Cassandra's, but No-Brow applied, to use Myrina's fibremesh brows.

    Meet Liranda. She's a pre-existing character of mine, but her G8F incarnation is fresh out of DS.

    Liranda is actually a blonde, but she's turned gothic because her family life is miserable. She's got a fraternal twin sister, a younger full sister, three half sisters and a half brother, all from her mother's many marriages to men who had a hard time not dying. It wasn't Liranda who killed any of them, although she tried her best.

    thanks .. its called push button art luck smiley  Its an HDRI lighting  https://www.daz3d.com/pro-studio-hdr-lighting-system... but for whatever reason I added  SSS to the texture mix and it came out like that. the character is a mix of a couple with Abel as base... the texture used is Russell HD ... so it all combines to create a pretty decent looking character. 
    The one in my gallery is same but I manipulated it a bit just to bring out the detail more and get rid of some of the glare in the original. 

    I've been experimenting with character mixing and I thinkk I've finally got onto something. I get tired of the normal looking people all the time.

    its the hD from the character ... plus the fact its a mix so it pops more.

    I did this one about 8 months ago. She is a mix of Edie 8 and Penny 8, with Alexandra 8's skin. I didn't let the render bake as long as I should have, so she is a little grainy.

    Here are a couple I did awhile back. Joseph is from Phoenix1966 at Rendo and I only changed a few things. The old cowboy is a combo of many GM3 morphs and techniqes and some of my own modeling (the hat)

    Here is my favorite babe in her G8 iteneration.  Bettie Mae.  All dial spinning with P3Design's Bella Bleu Skin.  Unfortunately you will not see much of her here as she emulates the real Bettie Page and I can't post most of her Cheesecake/Pinup/ "other" images here.  Enjoy.

    what morphs did you use for that character?

  • LinwellyLinwelly Posts: 6,055

    @Zilvergrafix  I really don't remember, it was a lot. I started out with Ivan and did a lot of moph dialing. That is what the skin basis is as well, though I changed around on that one as well.

    i need to start annotating my images ... i just dial until what I see hits me right laugh  nothing like I can "see" what I'm looking for. I love doing heads. Its my thing. I used to use a morph randomizer in Poser ... soem great stuff just miraculously appeared. the key is to have matching skin textures that fit the character.

    I've been trying to do my own version of Gianni 8 since it has not been out yet. I'm expecting he will be in his 20s, with a fitness look (not that of a bodybuilder). Although this is not the Gianni I have in mind, there is one character that I created that I really like how it looks. Here's a mock cover. I'm callling him Irvin 8 for now. I'll see if I can post some of the other characters I came up with as well...

    Great thread and amazing character @daveso!

    Wonderful characters everyone.

    Here is an older one I did with G2M.

    There are some great renders in here, interesting characters. I think Genesis 8, for some reason I can't fathom, really lends itself to people who have more age, more lines, more, dare I say it ... character to their faces.

    This is something I worked up recently. Genesis 8 male.

    DarkSpartan, I like Rumiko's head moph a lot.

     

    FSMC, the skin on that guy is nuts. How did you get that sheen?
