I’ve been doing a series of Simpson-family busts, and since I last did Bart Simpson, the next in the line was Lisa.
None of the Simpson characters translate well into 3-D, but Lisa Simpson was the worst. You may not have ever thought of this, but Lisa Simpson always has exactly seven points on her hair. What’s more, the triangle of each point aims at the foreground eyeball, with the exception of the topmost point which aims equidistant between the eyeballs. Map that onto 3-D and you immediately lose all the geometric perfection which makes Lisa Simpson who she is.
This had me blocked for quite some time.
And then I checked google to see how other people had solved the same problem, and seeing how horribly even professional industrial designers did, I felt like I had permission to do it however I wanted.
Things get even more vague in the rearview.
But still, she’s a sassy young lady that Lisa.
She’s contemplative.
She’s knowing.
She’s a little regal.
But most of all, Lisa Simpson is good-natured.
