Houra Ershad - Character Art - 2021

Dream

A likness of actress Golshifteh Farahani

Her love for music, her country and its culture was my source of inspiration for the concept.

On the necklace, is a part of a poem from a Persian poet, Saadi in expressing his love for his country:

"I feel free, from the day I got captured by you."

Background music is a shortened version of a piece played by Golshifteh Farahani:

Sculpted details of the character and the dress

Making of the dress was a back and forth process of designing and fitting in Marvelous Designer,  and no premade sewing pattern was used. 

I just wanted to make something to match the feeling of the scene and the concept I had in mind.

Concept and final render comparison

The smoke was designed in After Effects and outputted as render sequence to be used in look development process.

For the wings I used Ornatrix for Maya, and all the feathers are hand-placed one by one.

Feathers were sculpted and placed once in Zbrush and then moved to Maya to define the placement of the Ornatix version.
