This was part of a project commissioned by 63 Beatz, in which the artist had created a single dedicated to one of his daughters. He then commissioned me to create a 3D portrait of his daughter listening to the song, in the style of a Disney/Pixar character – which he wanted to use for the single’s cover art.
To generate the final image composite, I created the base model with ZBrush then exported the model into Maya for lighting, texturing and rendering. Once I had the model rendered, I took the raw passes into Photoshop to create the final image composite.
