Description
An odd one this - I was commissioned to create a Marigold Glove encased hand for the upcoming West End musical production of Victoria Wood's 'Acorn Antiques'
The brief was not to create a photoreal reproduction of a hand in the rubber glove, but to make it a little 'zany and dynamic' - like the wearer is gesturing in a showbiz; 'Ta-dahh!' kind of way! :) - I had photo reference which I was told to ignore on one hand (excuse the pun!) and yet capture the essence of on another - so here it is.
Anyway - this is the solitary gloved hand as it will appear on the show posters, press ad's etc, etc.
---
On a technical level - this was my first ever hand model of any kind, let alone a rubber gloved one, and whilst I was modeling it, I found it tough to restrain from adding further details and tightening it up into a proper hand instead of leaving the rounded curves of stretched latex!

The quality of model is really amazing, congrats Adam...
Extremely impressive and very well executed down to it's very last virtual molecule of rubber. Make for an excellent poster indeed. Awesome modeling!!! You are incredible Adam!
Respect! :o)
Superbly done Adam, but I'd expect nothing less anyway. Great work and thanks for your nice comments about my work too, all the best, Steve:)
Looks ready to clean house! Very nice bumps and modeling and lighting are spot on!
Excellent work! Give Adam a hand... (pun intended!)
WoW!! Very impressive!!!
Excellent work in both texturing and modeling, congrats on the project!
always unique renders, thumbs up !!!
I give you 5 stars, a big "thumbs up", give that man a "hand", my wife says that this render doesn't "rubber" the wrong way ... OK, I'll stop.
hello I love it .
Excellent.
Very cool! :)
very nice ...ill look out for this and when i see it ill tell people" i know the guy who made that" which is kinda true ...i suppose
nice picture
fantastic work kromekat nice to see ur doing so well xxxxx
Excellent work...looks so real...
I remember this glove when it was just a rough mesh and you struggled with the creases :) Came out just great, excellent poster material!
Excellent texture and a super hand model. Peace, RichArt. ;-)
Killer! Great work on everything: modeling, texturing and lighting. V
Amazing, well modeled, and lit.... it really works off the black background
Very nice. I thought I was the only one who got weird jobs like this! ;-) I once had to do some illustrations that required hands in surgical gloves. I tried using poser hands rendered in C4D with special textures, but I ended up doing a lot of retouching in Photoshop. I would be interested in seeing a tutorial on how you did this, if you have the time Adam. I'm sure a lot of folks would. Great work!
Thanks everyone! :) - Cyberhawg - my first thoughts were to use a Poser hand and forearm, make the rubber mat and render that, and then do lots of postwork to make it look like a glove with all the creases etc. I realised that that in itself would have been a lot of work, and if the client had wanted changes in position or pose later on, lots of work would be undone. I then contemplated trying the new cloth engine over a Poser hand, but again, it looked like a method that could create some problems and yield unpredictable results. In the end, taking the plunge with a cube, Mesh Surgery and a HyperNURB was the most practical solution! ;)
Really very nice. I actually liked the thumbnail a lot too (zoomed on the thumb) could you do another, detail-render of just the thumb, I thought it looked execllent on its own. Really nice work though
Looks great. Excellent modelling. The lighting and the vibrant colors are really eye-popping. Love the subtle bump map. Great illustration.
Brilliant but a little creepy none the less.
been too long since i've seen your gallery... impressive!! :]
You have captured the "Rubber" texture perfectly!! As well as the glopve, with wrinkles and all! Superb!!!
