Being silent is part of who I am, but sometimes I think it’s
a barrier that I struggle with at times. This struggle is what I wanted to
capture in my model. Looking inwards is what inspired this model.
I sculpted the head in Zbrush. I decided to add Asian
features to capture part of myself in the model. In addition, I used the
Flatten tool to chop away pieces of the head to represent the losses that occur
when my silence takes over. Sometimes I reflect on times I remained quiet and
the regrets just eat away at me. I modeled the zipper in Maya because it was a
hard surface object. The zipper represents my struggle to open my mouth at
times.
I used the skin material for the face as it showcases my
head sculpt in a realistic manner. The zipper has a metallic material to make
it stand out against the soft subsurface material of the head. The zipper is supposed to be a focal point, so
the contrast of materials helps that component stand out.
love it!!
