Hello everyone. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only Marilyn Monroe fan. It has been my obsession for many years and I have tried to recreate it many times. With the support of the multiple images I undertook the task of making a better model. I have presented in the gallery of this site, many images that I thought were good but it is always the same, little support I think we must put aside selfishness and indifference and be truly a community and support each other
@Renderart3d - I appreciate the effort you put into creating this model. Believe me - I know the pain! Are you looking for an honest critique of your work? If so, I can give you my thoughts but I would first like to get your consent to provide you with constructive criticim. I promise to be as unbiased and tactful as I can possibly be.
Is this going to be a freebie (if not, do you have the rights to make profit off MMs likeness?)? If not, I think it would be better if you posted your work in a forum section dedicated to WIPs. You can then post a link to that thread here, so we know where to find it.
@Renderart3d - if this is a freebie WIP Marilyn you are making, then please create a new thread for it. This thread is dedicated to my version of MM and I don't think the two creations should be mixed. This would only create confusion and unclarity.
I'm honest... I disagree with mercantilist that art is treated and this is an art form, not a business. Nowhere are criticisms, whether positive or negative, prohibited, as long as they are sincere. I humbly accept every suggestion, as well as give suggestions. I am fond of portraiture, I was born with a pencil in one hand and a paper in the other

Renderart3d said:The textures of this figure were made with the Painting tool of the Blender 2.79 program which, in my opinion, is what I get the best results with. Also use Gimp2 to fine-tune details in the texture. I can tell you that giving yourself to the task of first learning how programs are used, such as making procedural textures without knowing the English language, since I am a Spanish speaker, has been a difficult battle in which I have gained many knowledge that I hope to share.
@Renderart3d -I am asking again that you create a separate, new discusssion (thread) for your work and not post it in a thread dedicated to Sweetheart. I will gladly give you my comments in that new thread. As it is now, you are hijacking this thread and creating comparisons between my Marilyn and yours - something I didn't ask for nor do I welcome.
@Mark_OREZ - thank you for posting your artwork. Very nice mood and I also thank again @perlk for her "diamonds". They are really coming in handy, aren't they?
Edit: I commented on your work in the gallery (which I usually don't do) and gave you a "like"!
AOBB said:Don't worry. I don't quite know how forums work, now I understand that I'm m meddling in a private conversation in which I'm not authorized by you. I apologize for disrespecting you, it was not my intention. It will not be repeated again. Good bye

@Renderart3d - Thank you for your understanding and apology. I have to say that this thread is not owned by me and you are free to join into the discussion anytime you feel like it and are welcome to do so. It is just customary and appropriate to stick with the topic of the discussion (which is Sweetheart in this case, not Marilyn Monroe per se).
I understand how passionate you are about your work and I will gladly comment on it should you decide to open a separate thread dedicated to your work in progress on your Marilyn morph. I want to assure you that any comment I might make about your work will be made from a place of good will and no envy or hard feeling will be involved.
Looking forward to seeing your work gaining recognition and becoming all you want it to be.
I'm a bit under the weather but nothing serious. I'm working on a head sculpt and learning cinema 4d (I'm a total begginer). The head sculpt is tough to make, so I'm taking my time - that is why I haven't posted on the Freebies forum for a while.
Thank you for letting me know about your Artstation "escapade". This is such a nice portrait, Mark and thank you for your kindness - posting a link there to this thread and calling me your friend! I consider you a friend too!
@Mark_OREZ - thank you for posting your artwork. Very nice mood and I also thank again @perlk for her "diamonds". They are really coming in handy, aren't they?

Thank you AOBB for your comment and like on the gallery. Just like you've written before, I know you usually don't do this, so I specially appreciate it and it goes straight to my heart.
Again I can't tell you how much I'm happy with your sweetheart morph. I know it's a passion for you, what a great thing you did here !
And of course the Diamonds from @perlk are just perfect. They are more than handy I would say they are obvious as soon as you have them. I know it was a request from you and it was a good idea very well made and executed by @perlk
The image below is my tribute to @perlk. It's an iteration on my WIP which wont appear on the gallery. This image has colors and I like the shining of the diamonds and that special color they give. Kudos to @perlk. Best diamonds ever.
Thank you AOBB and perlk and salutations to everyone viewing/reading.
How did I miss this?!?!? I am honored, and she is so gorgeous!
@Mark_OREZ - The color portrait is great too. Did you make her chin smaller? If so, that was a good idea. I think I made her chin too big (it looked pretty darn big on Marlyn's profile photo!).
Thank you, Mark! It's funny but I haven't watched "The Aviator". It would seem like such a no-brainer given my love for old movies. I guess I couldn't get around to watching it for two reasons - I'm not a Martin Scorsese fan and I have too much etched in my memory the faces of the original players to suspend my disbelief. BTW, I think you've meant Katharine Hepburn...

Thank you, Mark. Your words in turn went to my heart! And I agree - perlk's work is first rate!

My render
Thank you, dan! It always touches my heart when someone takes the time to post their renders with "my" morphs. That is very thoughtful of you, dan!
This swimsuit is spot on, btw.
Cheers,
