Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson), AppleTV+

This is a likeness of Rebecca Ferguson from the AppleTV+ series SILO. It’s been a while since I’ve worked on a likeness piece—lately I’ve been focused more on CFX and technical art—so this was a refreshing challenge. The whole project took around 80 hours, from sculpting all the way to final look development. Along the way, I wrapped up a few tools that really helped speed things up: Refman, an image plane manager for Maya; some custom NURBS curve tools for hair grooming; and a ZBrush-to-Maya live mesh transfer script (coming soon). Without these, this piece definitely would’ve taken much longer. I also relied heavily on TIK Manager 4, the pipeline tool I co-developed, to stay organized throughout the project. I’m planning to write a breakdown soon on how these tools fit into my character workflow. Likeness work is always a rewarding process—and one I’m looking forward to doing more of. Thanks for checking it out!
