Stylized Self Portrait

The gray weather has been draining my energy lately so I wanted to sculpt something quick and fun, so I decided to create an avatar of myself as self-portraits are my "comfort" art subject.

The sculpting and polypainting was done in Zbrush over a couple of days. I then brought it into Blender for rendering. I was aiming for the smooth, polished look I've seen in Follygon's work and was imagining something that could exist in a mobile game.

I had actually started something like this a couple of years ago, but had accidentally saved over it with a work file and the loss just tanked my motivation to finish it. The sense of closure from finishing it is doing a lot to stave off the winter blues.
