Back in 2016, when I was working on Disney’s Ralph Breaks the Internet, I had the pleasure to work on the Senior Clown, another cool character I sculpted for the movie. A fun-fact is that he was meant to be on the Slaughter Race sequence, but finally he didn’t make it. He was replaced by his sinister brother Murder Clown, which is basically the same guy but with a sinister makeup and wig. Character design by the super talented Cory Loftis.

Professional Work: Character sculpting, modeling & temp color for the feature movie ‘Ralph Breaks the Internet’ at Walt Disney Animation Studios.

The overall time spent on the character was around 2 weeks for the sculpture and the temp color to get the director’s approval, and then another week for the character cleanup and neutralization. The first part of the process I spend the majority of the time on Pixologic’s zBrush, and then, once it got approved, I used Autodesk Maya in order to let the character ready with all the technicalities to fit successfully downstream the pipeline.

Here you can see a few examples of all the work done on the character during the sculpting process, plus some other images of the final result of the character on the movie. I hope you like it!
