Looking Outwards 05: 3D Computer Graphics

I decided to look at “Portrait of Hope” by Leticia Gillett. I admire it because the skin looks so realistic yet stylized at the same time. It can be hard to portray mature skin because there are more details to worry about but Gillett did a great job. I don’t know a lot about the algorithms that generated and/or rendered the work but she works at Walt Disney animation and mentions LookDev. Gillett’s piece resembles a lot of the animation styles you see in modern Disney movies, and it is meant to be a portrait of her personal hero Jane Goodall. You can tell that she really admires the person she’s portraying with the soft light and dignified appearance of the person.
