Character Artist Recreates Liv Tyler's Arwen With ZBrush & Maya

Hadi Karimi, an outstanding 3D Artist and Digital Sculptor specializing in realistic recreations of real-life people, celebrities, and historical figures, continues the series with a new great portrait that Tolkien fans are sure going to love.

This time, Hadi has showcased a lifelike digital copy of Arwen Undómiel, a beautiful elf from The Lord of the Rings trilogy, based on the likeness of Liv Tyler, the actress who portrayed the character in Peter Jackson's film adaptation. To set up the portrait, the artist opted for his usual combination of tools, leveraging ZBrush, Maya, and the latter's Arnold renderer to handle the production tasks.
