esteel20 Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Could I please convince you to do rerender of Jefferson Stardust? Maybe bearded/more heelish? I don't have the resources to pull off Stardust. If I ever do then I will be sure to give him a shot. Thanks for taking interest though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpha2117 Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 <p>The issue with straight ahead renders is that in real life if you look at photos people tend to have things like head tilts or slightly odd facial expressions etc. In esteels case with most of his characters being masked the straight on look can make them look a bit more artificial because you don't get facial expression to add that sense of humanity about the characters. So little head tilts and the like can add an awful lot just by giving a slight sense of movement and dynamism to those headshots.</p><p> </p><p> There's a render I mentioned I loved a few posts back where the character has a sneer. Even though he's masked that tiny bit of expression is enough to bring it to life. It's those little things that turn a good render into a great render for mine.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Lance Storm made a career out of it) It is just that very few human beings will be in the stiff as a board pose (Passport pictures and mugshots are the only that come to mind). One of the factors about wrestling is personality and drawing people in. Even down to subtle mannerisms if you can get somebody to love or hate you by the way you carry yourself then you are doing your job.</p><p> </p><p> Your posed Crimson Ghost feels more alive now that he is in a more organic pose. </p><p> </p><p> <span>http://orig15.deviantart.net/4e5c/f/2013/330/8/9/stone_cold_steve_austin_studio_shot_by_mr_igfx-d6vpljy.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p> Take for instance Stone Cold Steve Austin. Even him displaying no emotion what so ever he is still telling a story by the way he is posed and the look in his eyes.</p><p> </p><p> As alpha has stated simply tilting their head can make them feel alive and really pop off the screen.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
