Skull CEO & Wishing Well Spirits

Skull CEO

During my last class at college, I was tasked to create a game-ready character in 10 weeks completely from scratch. This is one of my first characters that I fully sculpted and posed in zbrush. I used Substance Painter to texture it, Maya for the UVs, and Marmoset Toolbag to render the final turnaround. I learned a lot about anatomy, retopoing, PBR texturing, and posing while working on this project.

Character Description

This character is a businessman that bought his way out of death. He made a Faustian deal in order to ensure the success of his company for centuries to come. His curse is that he is literally attached to and defined by money. His right hand is forever bound to his evil briefcase which indicates his power. When he runs out of money, he dies. However, this CEO is still bound to the business rules of the world and doesn't have an unlimited source of cash. Occasionally, he will have to spend the money contained in his briefcase for big business decisions.

Wishing Well Spirit Characters

These characters are part of a personal project which is a redo of one of my older projects. I was inspired by Studio Ghibli's kodama as well as traditional interpretations of kodama spirits. All characters were sculpted in zbrush, UVed in Maya, textured in Substance Painter, rigged with Mixamo, and rendered in both Unreal Engine and Marmoset Toolbag.
