It all started on a rainy evening. I was self-isolating and bored out of my mind, so I started watching Jackscepticeye’s playthroughs, when I find one of a game called “Sirenhead”, made by a talented bloke called Undreamed Panic, who runs a small studio called Isolation Interactive. The game looks and feels amazing. It’s fun and brilliant. Not to mention scary as all hell! All around Incredibly well done. I was fully into it and wanted to be a part of it, ’cause you know this is 100% my cup of tea. So I contacted Undreamed Panic and offered to sculpt the titular character, he said yes and here we are now.
Sirenhead: Messing With a Classic
The very first thing I did was to settle a few details with Panic, such as the fact that I kinda wanted to do a few modifications to the original, such as the massive, stitched gash where the speaker pole goes in, 3 speakers instead of two, so on and so forth. The reason why I ended up changing so much of the original character is because I wanted to make him more visually interesting for a game, as well as try to visually explain how it is that there’s a pole sticking out of a torso or how is it that electric speakers connect to flesh. Other details were ways to make Sirenhead look even more inhumane. And one of those ways was to decrease/increase the number of fingers and toes, change small but eerie details of his anatomy, so on and so forth. And once Panic agreed to most of those changes, I started sculpting, UV mapping and texturing it, which you can see a video of the first two steps below:
Where’s the texturing process!?
So, as a making of, you must think this video falls short. At which I say, yes, yes it does. But it’s also the first one, so based on how people react to it, I plan to post better and more detailed ones.
And, as a side note, you also probably have noticed the aching lack of the texturing process, which for now I won’t be posting any of, but again, I’ll see how this video does and hopefully that’ll make me want to post more of them.
