Assignment: Create a realistic or stylized portrait bust using digital sculpting tools in Cinema 4D.
Approach: The project began with a base mesh of a female head, which was then refined and sculpted using Cinema 4D’s powerful digital sculpting tools. I focused on adding intricate details and shaping the facial features to reflect the stylized aesthetic of a hybrid creature. Drawing inspiration from special effects makeup, I referenced several images to ensure a unique yet believable combination of human and insect characteristics. The sculpting process involved enhancing textures, refining facial structure, and emphasizing the eyes, creating an intense and otherworldly effect.
Result: The final piece is a portrait bust of a bug-human hybrid woman. The design features a glossy, surreal texture that contrasts with the organic feel of the face. The most striking aspect of the piece is the self-illuminated geometry of the eyes, which adds an ethereal, almost supernatural quality. The glassy texture and glowing eyes give the character a sense of depth and life, making it stand out as both a detailed sculpt and a visually arresting design.
