The Penguin: Original Stylized 3D Concept

The Penguin: Original Stylized 3d Concept based on the HBO tv series "The Penguin" with Colin Farrell.
-This was done almost entirely in Blender 4.5 and solely on my ipad. (ipad connected to laptop via usb - c and easy canvas pro, more info on setup at the bottom of the page).
-There was some very rough initial blockout sculpt on zbrush for ipad (images at the bottom of the page)
-I made the initial concept in photoshop, ref board and concept at the bottom of the page. Notable inspiration from Gabriel Soares: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Zlda8N
-Also the awesome smoke .gif is from Jose Estrada: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/GaWXzd
-I eventually used Wrap 3D to wrap to 3D scan stores base mesh to leverage the face roughness map on this head. Then used vertex paint to mix with it and tune the roughness map real time in blender.

This project was mostly about making my own 3d concept and learning blender as well as working on portable devices namely the ipad. Had a lot of fun with it, hope you like it!
