When it came to the experimental project of my M.A degree, we were asked to do something outside our comfort zone technically but which also explored conceptual thinking regarding theme and contemporary philosophy.

​

I had not yet attempted any advanced facial rigging or animation so I set this as my technical goal. I also decided to attempt the face sculpt in ZBrush as I had not used the software before. I ended up actually removing much of the detail from the face as it worked better with my theme of reading emotions with/without context, inspired by the Kuleshov Effect.
