irulan

At the first glimpse that image reminds me of Donato Giancola, amazing traditional artist and illustrator. But looking close I realised Pascal's style and, of course, Dune theme. What's cool about Pascal works is that he is more like a painter than technical guy and irulan image reflects that once again. Way too many 3D artists think in terms of their software and, as a result, their creations are technically correct but often lacking storytelling or artistic aspect. By looking at this image your mind reading some story behind it even if you aren't familiar with Frank Herbert's universe and novels.

On a critical note, 3D artists are always been challenged when creating digital humans. The expectations are high and every bit calls for extra attention. What could be improved here are skin and fabric, right now there is a sort of plastic feel to them. Subtle variations of skintones and fabric textures, more folds, imperfections would also help to blend Irulan figure with rich background.
