Ludwig van Beethoven (1812)

Beethoven is often portrayed as this heroic figure that resembles more of a Greek god than a human who dedicated his life to music. To reconstruct his face I only used his LIFE mask and also a bust that was made by the same person who made the mask. He also had a death mask, but due to his illness, he lost so much weight that the mask is almost useless for this purpose.

Sculpted in ZBrush, the color texture was painted in Substance Painter, rendered in Maya with Arnold, used Xgen core for the hair.
