Elite Dangerous Character Creator: ZBrush Head Sculpts

I was the lead character artist on the character creation system for Elite Dangerous, Frontier Development's PC/PS4/XB1 space sim game.

The player is offered four starting head types to choose from when creating their character. I did the ZBrush sculpts for the male and female youthful and veteran heads seen here, as well as the final textured game meshes for each head.

It's worth mentioning that the heads are being kept purposely generic at this point - we'll let the player add more characterful features via additional blendshapes.
