Stylized Grooming Study & Mentorship

Technique is the floor. Taste is the ceiling."

This project was a deep dive into the bridge between technical XGen execution and artistic "Appeal." For this character, my goal was to move away from procedural simulations and focus entirely on Intentional Design.

Key Focus Areas:
Silhouette First: Every guide was hand-placed to ensure a graphic, clean read from every angle.
Rhythmic Clumping: Instead of random noise, clumping was used to create visual flow and lead the eye back to the focal points.
The Micro-Story: Every stray hair and flyaway was placed manually to break the "CG perfection" without creating clutter.

XGen Mentorship Now Open:
After many requests, I am opening applications for my Stylized Grooming Mentorship. > This is a 1-on-1, portfolio-focused program designed to help you stop "fiddling with sliders" and start designing grooms with a Senior mindset.
I am offering two paths: XGen Core and XGen Mastery.

Status: Applications are free and now open (Limited Seats).
