Tribes Superhero 2D to 3D design

Hi folks!

I’m trying to convert this 2D cartoon design into a 3D model. The cartoon is very stylized, and I don’t want to lose that in the 3D model. I want it to look as much as the 2D design as possible. This is the 2nd go-round of his face. What do you think? Any tips on how to make it look more like the cartoon? Does the 3D version look too ‘realistic’ right now? (I know it looks far from actual realism but like I said I want it to look as stylized as possible!)

This one is not finished yet, obviously, but what do you think?

Any features that you see to be changed to make him look like the cartoon more?

(the hair is just a placeholder…please ignore the hair…I just added a quick primitive to help ‘aid’ me while sculpting his face…the next sculpt I do, I may include his hair and head in one mesh? I don’t know…)

Thoughts?




Second pass:

I like this one better. Thoughts?


I think you’ll have trouble with edge flow when the time comes, but I totally get that this is a fun project. That said, either lift those ears or dump them! I didn’t expect the brow to be so heavy in the sculpt so I’m curious if you can make that work - it’s a big departure from the simplicity of the 2D brows.
