First one is Kurt Cobain. I started over a couple times cause I didn't like the direction. Finally I think it looks like him. I started by pushing a character from CC3 to Zbrush, and then using the amazing tool PureRef (which takes an image and always has it on top of any program), and grabbed a bunch of Cobain ref shots...

After that I took it back into CC3 and started laying skinGen on it. I used the face decals as a start and then just tried to duplicate the photos.

Then I took it into Iclone and animated

I made sure to look at it from all different kinds of lighting. It can work in one set of lights and look terrible in another. Checking to see if it looks the same under all kinds of lights, helps ensure a good sculpt. I also used PS for some tweaking of the facemap, and Gigapixel for resizing back up to 4K in the end.

I next have artist Chuck Close, who is considered one of the fathers of Photorealism. This face made it a no brainer for me as that is what I use Character Creator 3 for. I forst used Headshot, brought it into Zbrush for refinement, and then back into CC3 for SkinGen, and then into IClone for animating.
