THE Sculpting Challenge 015: Self Portrait

[Lynette-3dt]

Can we submit a different version of ourselves despite how we currently look i.e. shaved beard or a different haircut?

Sure, why not - just make sure your facial features/expression are sculpted well so we can see that it's you from the photo you provide

ok here i am. i actually finished this a couple days ago but the attachments were down so i had to wait to post.

hardtack, that's a pretty cool starter! Your mouth is a bit lower than in your reference pic, but it's pretty much you. The nose is spot on.

So yeah, the new time limit is 6 hours. This should give everyone enough time to capture their visage.

i kept thinking that about the mouth while i was sculpting, but i think its actually that the chin isnt long enough. i have a long face. haha

hardtack-i think you look moore masculine on photo,stronger chin,harder facial features
Im started one too,only problem for now-sculpt looks completly diferent than me

That's part of the challenge, hehe. It's quite tricky to sculpt someone in particular, but you guys already know that from the previous challenge.

Don't forget to show a photo when you submit your final work, or for WIP if you want some constructive crits.

these are great! it's really hard doing self portraits. i remember trying to do a pencil one once when i was studying - you know, trying to be as realistic as possible. and it's hard because you kind of want to change what you see - you know, you sort of subconsciously make it to what you think you look like, even though you can see the reference (be it photo, reflection) says something else. it's a hard task!! the best way I found of doing it was to grid up a photo (you could do that in PS, i imagine), so that you can actually see where the features fall and not just where you think they do (or want them to, ha ha). good luck guys - it's a tricky one for sure, but really great practice for your sculpting - as well as for training your eye - so keep up the great work!!

I actually might finally find the time to have a go at one of these challenges!! I really wanted to do the last one but work was just toooo busy!!

Can we sculpt ourselves when we were younger?
It'd still be a self portrait but not of present hagardness.

I'm not really interested in sculpting myself as I am now. I have to survive looking at that in the mirror everyday as it is.

If I can't I understand and it's totally cool but I'll probably give this challenge a miss.

Hardtack I agree that your chin could be a bit longer but it's looking great!

Allright, it's still you and that's important. As long as no one comes along and sculpts a version of themselves when they were in diapers.

When I see my face I wanna disappear
but everywhere I go I'm always there.

Here's my first attempt. An my first challenge post (and ZBrush Sculpt) for a very long time!
Decided against doing a younger version of me 'cos I realised I don't have any photos and I just wanted to get into the sculpting.
Only 1.5hrs in and still needs soooo much work. Very hard topic for me!!
All crits are welcome! The nose needs attention as the bridge is too thin but there's plenty else wrong with it.
Still having fun doing it though!!

Joseph Pomeisl-nice sculpt,but if you think you are ugly -look at me
gumby666-good work,you're right about the nose
And here is my second try and my pretty person::
