Petr Pavel

This likeness of the Czech president: Petr Pavel was initially done as an art test for a company. I then decided to push it further to learn more about realism. It was quite challenging and I am really happy with the result even if it's not really resembling the subject.

I found this a bit late in my process, but those tutorials were really helpful: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/w8yrQO and

I first sculpted the character in Zbrush, then used a base mesh from 3d Scan Store to transfer my sculpture onto it, and I resculpted the high details. The texture was then created in Substance 3D Painter using the model's texture as a base. The hair was done in Maya using Xgen. Finally, I put everything into Marmoset for rendering and adjusted the materials to achieve this result.
