FALCON CHARACTER
The driving force behind this project was the desire to acquire expertise in working with feathers. Upon analyzing movies and games, it became evident that the intricacies involved in crafting feathers significantly differ from those of fur. This is primarily because feathers emphasize details, colours, and distinct shapes.
In pursuit of this goal, I undertook the task of creating a dedicated set of feathers for each part of the character. To achieve the desired level of detail, I employed micromesh in Zbrush to seamlessly attach these feathers. Furthermore, meticulous texturing and UV mapping were applied to the feather group to attain the precise level of detail sought after.
The inspiration for this undertaking drew from iconic sources, with "Angry Birds" serving as a notable influence. Additionally, the character's facial features were thoughtfully crafted, drawing inspiration from the renowned Disney style.
