Charles 'Do Bronx' Oliveira - 3D Bust

Another 3D bust I made of a UFC fighter. This time I chose Charles 'Do Bronx' Oliveira, one of the most exciting and technical fighters of the lightweight division. He's one of my favourite fighters and his story of growing up in the favelas in Sao Paulo Brazil,having health issues and still managing to become UFC champion (along with having a couple of defenses, and having a long win-streak) is truly inspirational. It just shows you that with hard work and dedication, you can achieve your dreams and even more.

I was struggling with getting his likeness at certain points of the process, mainly his skin tone and some parts of the sculpt, but in the end I was happy with the result and had fun working on this.

The sculpt was done in Zbrush ; Texturing in Substance Painter; Grooming,Lighting and Rendering done in Blender; Post-production done in Photoshop.

Estimated time : 40 hours (approx.)
