Portrait of a Silent Man

YOU CAN NOW READ A 'MAKING OF' ABOUT HOW THIS PICTURE WAS CREATED [link].

Modeled in Cinema 4D, textured in BodyPaint and ZBrush, rendered in Cinema again with standard lights. Cinema's own Hair module has been used for adding the beard and hair. I used the Vreel Skin Shader as material. I didn't do much in Photoshop. I just did some minor color correction, DOF, added the Ambient Occlusion Pass on top if the image, tweeked the eyes and added some grain and that's it.

'Portrait of a Silent Man' has been chosen by BallisticPublishing to feature in the 7th edition of Exposé - The Finest Digital Art in the Known Universe. This image has also won a cgArena.com Excellence Award [link] and was named 'Image of the month' in the French C4D community forum [www.frenchcinema4d.fr].
