Description
I can't do better then Disney, but all that discussion about how The Lion King was better 2D animated because in 3D it's expressionless and boring got me thinking of what the remake would look like if instead of hyperrealism, Disney had combined realism and cartoony proportions. The character design of the original TLK is really good, after all.So here's a little prince. I sculpted his entire body as opposed to just his head/upper chest like I do with a lot of my 2D/3D hybrid pieces, but you can't see a lot of it. Mostly used him as an excuse to learn normal mapping and clone painting. A time consuming piece, but fun.

If thats your opinion thats fine. My opinion is that while its impressive how long they must have taken to make this, its still very uncanny and not that pleasing to look at. And yes, while Kawai kitten could have been a little bit nicer, they can still say what they want.

I disagree; you definitely did better than Disney. This isn't just a lion, this is Simba. If I wanted to see a photo-realistic lion; I'd look at a photo of a lion.

I love the work, it's amazing. But one thing that caught my eye was the bottom jaw being a little big. But, maybe it's just me.Β

thank you! i can see why you'd say that. i tried to give him that little chin puff lions have, but i don't think i quite pulled it off like i should have. better luck next time, amirite?
