Rapper Dom Vallie came to me with a brilliant idea. Which is that he wanted to be turned into a robot directly inspired by the movie I-robot. Everything, except minor detail assets, in this image is created and textured by me.
In order to get a highly accurate complexion of Dom's face we used a 3D scanning app on a phone to scan his face and bring it into blender. I then took his scanned face and cleaned the typology and overall look of the scan with sculpting and vertex editing. I then attached this scanned face on a clean back half of a basic head model.
Using curves and subdivision I created the wiring in the neck and shoulders. I also, I created other parts in the face. An important feature of the i-robot reference is the transparent skin and the ability to see inside the head with the intricate parts and mechanics of the internal workings of the head structure.
