Zbrush Sculpture Day 4208 - Knowing Grin

Lately I’ve been noticing how many characters in recent media feel stuck in the same bland, underplayed expressions.

To counter that, I wanted to pick a single expression and really push it… leaning into that edgy, cocky 90s attitude to see how far one look and posture could carry the personality.

Usual workflow here: sculpting the head and body, posing them, then building up layer after layer of fibermesh fur to bring out the expression and silhouette. 

• Sculpted in Zbrush and rendered in Keyshot.
