Have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other then being really, really, ridiculously good looking? (quote from Zoolander).

The Brief

The task of this competition is straight forward: Create a bust sculpt of your very own, personal, virtual star! Think about what makes a celebrity so appealing on screen and try to capture a charismatic personality in a digital sculpt.

The winners will be judged by the quality of the final result, the overall scope of work and attention to detail, the skill level displayed in the WIP documentation, presentation and the star appeal of your celebrity creation. Be sure not to copy a particular person exactly or use their names so you won’t get into trouble with angry Hollywood agents!

For those who are new to the site, Envato only recently expanded into the realm of 3D and with the “Celebrity Face Challenge” we are aiming to get 3DOcean started on growing a comprehensive resource for CG artists in the fields of cinematography and gaming!

Time Frame

The competition starts as of this moment and closes on the 24th of February 2011. Last submissions will be accepted until 6pm GMT + 0:00.
