Re-L from Ergo Proxy (fan art)

by felipe torrents on Jan 29, 2013

Image is: finished (?)

As a huge fan of Ergo Proxy I decided to spend my winter break making a realistic version of Re-l, kind of the main character.

I first started with a base dyntopo mesh and then retopologyzed, modeled the clothes and sculpted details.
The postpro was made in Gimp and used the normal pass to enhance lighting, Z pass for defocus and a plane blurred image for background.

I managed to make an attempt of SSS natively in cycles following the Absortion tutorial by Gottfried Hofmann, Ill post the node tree soon.

Render time was 11 hours on Cycles via cpu (humble core2duo 2.2ghz, 4gb ram, GF 9800m gs) with 1300 samples, 2440×1620 res, strand render patch.

      Thanks! It took me about a month in a relaxed pace (winter break) (:

    Congratulation, it’s worth a feature I think…. I don’t know what to say, it’s a fantastic piece.

    This is really well executed. Nice lighting, brilliant textures, incredible hair. I love it.

    The one little thing that I can’t stop looking at is how the hand doesn’t quite seem right. The grip on the gun doesn’t seem strong enough, or the fingers are off a little (I can’t quite figure it out).

    Otherwise, well done. You deserve props for this.

    Well done on all levels: composition, perspective, modeling, materials and textures. Might just be the most photo-realistic hair that I have scene in any project featured on this site (You should do a tutorial). I could almost hate you for only needing “one month at a relaxed pace” to pull this off. :) ……….Again, very well done.

      The hair is what jumped out at me as well. It looks incredibly realistic.

    I a fan of this. The composition is striking. Centered with a rack focus to make the figure pop beyond the background. really nice.

    Great job, what was the production time roughly? The hair really got me, great job. I also really loved the sci-fi thing that you did, i think you should DEFINITELY pursue that style :)
