Description
I was just recently reminded of this model that I did quite some time ago. The model was based on the beautiful actress Summer Glau, star of Firefly, Serenity, and more recently The Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
The original base mesh was done in Maya, then it was imported to ZBrush so I could test all the new ZBrush 3.1 tools and brushes. I did a bunch of things with it, poly-painting, HD Geometry, etc.
I don't remember the poly-count, I'd have to check but I don't want to dig up the model again.

Nice work! It's a very good model, but the ear looks a little weird, if you fix that it will look better.
Thanks! But I know about the ear, I didn't do any work there. Like I said, I just used this model for testing new tools in ZBrush, this isn't like a "highly polished triple A" model or something of that nature. The ear basically looks the same as it did when it left Maya and after the ZBrush pass.
Thanks for the Critique though. I may go back to the model sometime, and if I do I'll keep that in mind.
Oh, and let me say that I did create this model from scratch in Maya then exported to ZBrush. In this comment I made it sound like I just used some model and sculpted off of it, when that's not the case.
Just to clear the confusion, I modeled this from scratch in Maya, then did some minor high-res sculpting in ZBrush.
Great model, the only problem is that the bottom jaw is too far forward, it's a male trait mostly. Try moving it back a bit... but still, great work!
That's the way she is.
Here's a good profile image from when she played a dancer in the show Angel:

And here is an artist's rendering of Summer Glau playing River on Firefly:

That's just the way she is. Anyone who has seen enough of Summer on TV and Movies. I'm not sure it's her jaw, so much as her bottom lip.
oh, sorry, I didn't know you were trying to re-create her face... in that case never mind. I knew her face looked familiar
