Don't kill me, I haven't watched Starwars yet! That said this character render sure makes me wonder why I haven't yet.
I absolutely love this render, great style and superb texturing.
The Process:
Quoted by the artist from blenderartists:
" My work process here was to find what made Samuel Youn's drawing appeal to me so much and try to portray it in my own way and style. I made a sketch of the side and front view then based on my drawings, Samuel's artwork, and Rey's portrait, I built the low poly topology of Rey and then applied a Multires modifier and sculpted in more of the details. From there I baked the details into the low poly mesh to have a basis on the textures. " Link
