A Collection of Characters - 2020+

Firefly: The idea came from a sci-fi human explorer who visits a planet that looks very much like Earth, in the future. She has an assistant drone, a source of light, a cannon, and a whip alongside the technological suit she is wearing.

I delved into drafting and refining hard surface models in ZBrush for this one. I used XGen to groom the hair and experimented with a custom volumetric fog implementation in the Marmoset Toolbag. Concepting was a different task I had to deal with as it evolved and required me to make changes both in 2D and 3D mediums.

Envy: This character is my interpretation of one of the deadly sins, Envy. The idea came from hard, dark rocks growing in a vessel at first. Later on, I added the torn cloth, which symbolizes a person covering their body and/or sight to prevent themselves from seeing or being seen by others.

Utilized a combination of ZBrush's cloth physics, nanomesh function, and fiber mesh to add the details on the cloth. After rendering the image, I composited it in Photoshop using various render passes and screen effects.

Mariosa: Mariosa represents the phase of going through a brute-force education. With an open mind and perception will we get to evolve and upgrade our perspective from its current version to the next one.

I used a variety of software while developing this character. My goal was to familiarize myself with Marvelous Designer for this project. It's a successor to the character I completed before this one, Aworoth. I used a similar lighting and rendering setup.

Aworoth: Aworoth is a Praetorian Demon who lives in Mediterranean geography. After all the bad deeds he committed, he was turned into a demon. He embraced his new identity and started ruling all the lost souls in hell.

Utilized ZBrush, Substance Painter, RizomUv, Photoshop, Marmoset Toolbag, TopoGun, and Maya as I modeled, textured, and rendered this character.
