Then I had to download Michael 3 [the Daz male base figure], all his Daz morphs [so I could change his shape], plus Capsces Digital Ink&#39;s super awesome custom morphs for M3 called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.daz3d.com\/shop\/brom\">Brom.<\/a> I have probably previously sung the praises of these morph packages, which she releases for every major Daz base figure, but I&#39;ll sing them again. Capsces&#39; morphs add so much more customizability to the models, and they come with handy-dandy face and body presets that fit my preferred aesthetic: stylized, exaggerated and full of character.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I dumped all that onto my compooper and slowly fired up Daz. When I last modeled my Jareth, I worked off a preset Brom face, which is the digital equivalent to a headsculpt. If you&#39;d like to see what I started with, you can go to the Brom page and click the first thumbnail under the main product picture. I started with the pink elf guy in the center of the second row, though, of course, he had a different texture when I was using him.<\/p>\n<p>I futzed around for a few hours, pushing sliders to distort specific areas of the digital model in specific ways; in essence, I was digitally sculpting. Here&#39;s my rough draft. The hair and complexion are just placeholders; they don&#39;t really matter for sculpting purposes. It will be further futzed with later to increase its accuracy [to the character in my head].
