Just over three years ago, I was completely stunned by a post from @sefkiibrahim. That moment sparked a deep curiosity in me, leading me to explore the works of incredible artists like @ianspriggs , @marco_di_lucca , and @berto3d , among others. The more I delved into their art, the more amazed I became, and I knew that I wanted to learn and master the art of realism.
Today, I’m excited to share a new milestone in my journey. With the guidance of @sefkiibrahim and the invaluable lessons from his course [www.sefkiibrahim.com], I’ve been able to push my skills even further. This time, I’ve experimented with new lighting setups, enhancing the mood and depth of the model. Additionally, I had the pleasure of working with an incredible render by @cave_academy , which brought the model to life in ways I hadn’t imagined.
I am proud of the progress I've made so far, particularly with the textures from @texturingxyz , which have added an incredible level of detail to the wrinkles and forms. Although this piece is still a work in progress (WIP), I’m thrilled to continue refining the model and exploring new creative possibilities.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported me on this journey. Your encouragement has been instrumental in helping me reach this point.
Stay tuned for more updates as I continue to evolve this piece!
