“Jake.” Character Concep;t. (c) 2014 Michael J. Barnes (click image to view larger rendering)
I had originally created this character in my early attempts at using ZBrush. Though I was really pleased with my first concept, I learned so much more since then. With that said, I really wanted this “Jake” character to look more “real.” I think I finally managed to reach this goal. Please let me know what you think.
Technically this is still a WIP (work-in-progress). I am still detailing the coat, pants and other accessories. I will post the completed sculpt at a later date.

I finally got it. For some reason, the effect I was searching for, to make this character bust look like a photograph of an “actual-looking,” “realistic” male heroic character, eluded me for way too long. But I think I finally got it. This character, which I have created for a sci-fi fantasy I am working up, was created in ZBrush, with final production completed in Photoshop.
I hope you like it. Let me know what you think.
