A Realistic 3D Portrait of Ozzy Osbourne Achieved With ZBrush & XGen

Character Artist and 3D Sculptor Hadi Karimi, whose detailed 3D recreations of famous people and historical figures never cease to amaze us, has pushed digital realism to the next level with one more incredible portrait.

This time, Karimi took on the challenge of depicting the Prince of Darkness himself, crafting a stunning 3D model of the legendary singer and songwriter Ozzy Osbourne adorned in his iconic round-framed glasses. According to Hadi, the model was modeled and textured in ZBrush and rendered in Arnold, with Maya's instancing tool XGen having been used to set up the hairstyle.

And here are some more of Hadi's most recent works:

Earlier, the artist also presented highly-realistic versions of the Girl With a Pearl Earring, Christian Bale's Bruce Wayne, Eminem, his friend Clara, French model Camille Razat, Elon Musk, Audrey Hepburn, Kurt Cobain, and many others. You can check out all of these artworks and more by visiting the artist's ArtStation, Twitter, and Instagram pages.
