I wanted to see how I would do, if I started with a very basic lump of clay in Zbrush and see if I could challenge myself to make a character as believable as possible.
Intro Nadya. This took me about two months with a lot of mistakes and like multiple iterations. It was perhaps the hardest model I had to make because I used no base mesh, and just used image references. Making the pores was the hardest part in the modelling phase. Substance helped though.

I made the clothes in Blender using clothweaver addon. The skin texture was a nightmare and lighting her was even harder. I ended up having to take her into substance, and ditched blender to make the textures. I don't think the proportions are perfect but I am proud of how it came out especially her make-up and her piercings came out. I aimed for ultra realism. The hair is made made with hair strips, and layered, combing strips is such an art so there is not bisecting of geo, but I think I nailed it. Like I said it was an uphill climb to make her but I am proud of how she came out.

That anatomy class really came in handy that's for sure.
