Semi-Realistic 3D Character With Awesome Facial Animations

Have a look at Taylor, an incredibly intricate semi-realistic 3D female character model with mind-blowing facial animations, created by 3D Artist/Animator and Student at Creative Seeds, Leandro Leijnen, also known online as Phoerens.

Currently WIP, this outstanding model was made to experiment with a more realistic art style than the creator typically employs. The production process behind Taylor involved using ZBrush for sculpting and Substance 3D software for texturing, while Houdini was utilized for simulating the hairstyle. To set up the facial animations, Leandro sculpted the expressions in ZBrush and then used them as blendshapes in Maya.

And here are some of the renders and behind-the-scenes shots shared by the artist so far:
