The clown

My goal with this project was to create an portrait of a character with a story behind. Some elements that would contrast with the general theme and give a bit of tension to the image.
From the very beginning I knew that was going to be a still image, so most of the work was done in zbrush. I started from a generic base mesh from maya and then jumped into zbrush.
The tatoo of the arm was a key part of the image so I took some references and made my own directly in zbrush.
