On The
Front ‘Drive’ by Rafael Grassetti (grassettiart.com). Modelled in 3ds Max and sculpted with Zbrush.
U
sually at this part of the magazine I would go on and on about how difficult it was to find the right image for the cover of this issue, this definitely was not the case with Rafael Grassetti image based on the film ‘Drive’ staring Ryan Gosling.
This image stood out amongst the rest with it’s incredible attention to detail, facial expression and the mood in this piece is spot on. Not only does actor Ryan Gosling’s the face and eyes look incredibly realistic, but so does the crosshatched half zipped leather jacket, the biker gloves, the hammer and even Gosling’s hair. What makes this image even more impressive is the fact that it has no colour, so not that much focus was placed into materials or SSS (sub surface scattering)or anything of that sort to support the realism of the image. Once again fantastic work by Rafael Grassetti, this image has actually encouraged me to actually watch the film Drive.
