What a shame Jason Isaacs didn't get to play his role!
I thoroughly enjoyed the character of Grand Inquisitor voiced by Jason Isaacs in the SW Rebels series. So I wanted to imagine what would his live action version looked like.
The goal was to create a Jason Isaacs likeness and then using mostly addition to achieve the look of the Grand Inquisitor (as if he was wearing a prosthetic mask).
Character was also meant to capable of animation via LiveLink. So I started with a Metahuman as a base.
Final model uses the same topology an UV as any metahuman mesh, but it has many significant changes to its proportions (taller skull, shrunken ears, raised cheeks, sharp teeth, eyes). All those changes are applied via a single Morph target so that the existing Metahuman Blendshapes are still working as intended.
His outfit currently sits as a highpoly sculpt, which I'm hoping to finish soon to show him off in his full glory!
