Hello everyone!
This thread will document my entry process for the event. My goal is to bring one of the original characters from my own IP to life: Dr. Altus .
Dr. Altus is the main antagonist of the story. At first glance, he embodies refinement and elegance. Impeccably dressed in luxurious garments, his appearance conveys nobility, discipline, and absolute composure. Every movement is measured, every gesture deliberate. He does not command attention through intimidation, but through an unsettling sense of certainty. His charisma is as dangerous as his intellect, allowing him to manipulate others while hiding the darkness beneath his polished exterior.
To establish a strong visual direction, I gathered a collection of reference images and mood boards that capture the atmosphere, shapes, and aesthetic I want to achieve.
The first step was exploring and iterating on his face. Since my pipeline uses Character Creator, the facial design is the foundation of the entire character. Getting the facial proportions, expression, and personality right at this stage is essential before moving on to clothing, materials, and the rest of the production process.
I’ll be sharing my progress throughout the challenge. Thanks for following along—I hope you enjoy the journey!
