Description

Hi there! This is my 4th Naruto Image, this time i decided to model Hinata. Initially i wanted to portray her in a battle, but it wasnt quite working so i trashed the idea and decided to put her in a cute pose.
Her Byakugan eyes were quite challenging. I needed to create eyes that were truth to the character while making them not look to dull nor unrealistic(since she has no pupils). in the end i added some "white pupil" that still gives the stangeness that i was looking for while not looking too cartoonish.
Unlike the other naruto characters of myne , i decided to give a try to polygonal hair this time, even i also made a hair&fur version. But the hair rectangular/bowl haircut style wasnt quite working as i wanted, so i went to the polygonal approach to the end. It looks far less realistic, but i believe it stays more truthful to the character.
This is my first time using DOF in a image, hope it works.
Anyway, hope u guys like it. Cheers and happy new year.
The model was done in 3Dsmax, retouched in zbrush.
The matte painting and character textures were done in photoshop and this picture was rendered using brazil r/s.
