fae_alba Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I have several stories I've always wanted to animate where I needed a crotchety old man as the main character (I relate to them oh so well!). Ran across this facial reconstruction of Copernicus on Mental Floss and thought now there is a roto to build a cool old man from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 17, 2013 Hash Fellow Share Posted May 17, 2013 That resembles a bit some of DaVinci's "grotesque" caricatures which I had sometimes thought of trying to do in 3D but he didn't make matching front and side views.

Robert I can't remember his name unfortunately but, there was a german artist ( in 19thC I think ) who made sculptures of himself pulling the most extreme of expressions on his face. I think he may have been slightly mad, in a literal rather than jokey sense, and thought the work would exorcise his bad spirits. I don't know if they have them in America (?) but in some parts of the UK they hold what are called 'Gurning' competitions were people literally pull their own faces into all sorts of distorted shapes and expressions. Not something I enjoy myself but used to have a friend who did a long time ago. He was training to be a teacher 1 regards simon http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sit...img.Svz-7ANEozw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Edmondson Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Apologies for not knowing the blokes name. I looked this morning and I think it is Silvano Fraziano (?) This google page has some of the images in it. simon http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sit...52F%3B192%3B370 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
