Description


This is a little something I knocked together late last night. I used one of Carodan's great new ADS characters as a base and tweaked the nose, ear, mouth and eyes to my liking. I also used Carodan's wrinkle displacement map (again). I just blacked out whatever details I didn't need, this time the chin.

Cool character. No crits except that the right eye seems brighter than the left one though it is in more shadow. This makes it look bigger than the left eye. Okay, gotta run, late for work lol.

You're right lemur. The eye looks bigger because it is in fact slightly more open. In this particular pose, from this angle, I agree that it looks a little strange. I try and give my morphs a little asymetry to enhance realism, but it doesn't always benefit the final image. Thank you for the feedback.

Really great expressive lines across the forehead. The earlobes are a bit too spherical for me, that's about all that really bothers me, otherwise a very fine, unique character. Great use of light and the photoshop work is very fine, good job. Very evocative, the tank top shirt is a good touch.

I like this portrait. Very realistic. The diffrent eyes dont really bother. Thats is what makes this face so unique and realistic. The human eyes are never looks the same. Excellent work at all.

Thanks again everyone for the great feedback. pjz99, I wanted the ear lobes to be particularly large, but I do agree that they are a little too round. Without a custom morph this wouldn't have been possible with Apollo, but I could definitley have rectified this in Photoshop (using the liquify tool for instance). This image was more a test to see if the character itself was successful and well recieved. I have a very specific image in mind for this old gentleman. Watch this space! ;)

Great picture. I like the face morph a lot, great character. My only issue would be the contrast between the upper and lower lip - the upper lip looks a bit strange to me with the lines there, in contrast with the smooth lower lips. Otherwise great.

I don't have any useful critique to give you, above what has already been said but I wanted to say that I think this is fantastic! Really amazing expressive character and really well put together in black and white! Well done!

Great, great great morph!!! I See both Mel Gibson and Hulk Hogan in this morph (could be the Spanish Rioja as well ;)) The eyes -however- are very close to Mel... Well done... instant favo here and I hope you release this morph at the CP forum ;) Arthorius (I should get a name change here..I know)

Thanks to everyone again for their input. Bantha - This was a real point of contention for me. I tried and tried, but couldn't get the bottom lip/chin to look right. Ultimatley I decided the image worked better without a displacement map there at all. It's not what I intended, more what I settled with. Compass/Arhorius - Coming from a master of Apollo like yourself, any praise is gratefully recieved. Love your work!

Another great quick character portrait. You've posted wonderful work using Apollo.

Wow. Your photoshopping skills really shine through on this one. The gradient map (Im guesing) and level adjustments are beautifully done. The diffuse glow is just the right side of subtle. The depth of field is sheer perfection. Its almost photographic. It adds a real sense of realism to the image. It does have its problems. The ear lobes are spherical and the top lip is far too creased (it looks like hes got a tasche). But the good far outweighs the bad, by a long way. This is a beautiful and emotional image.
