Forest Creature and The Hunter

My first project is based on the amazing art "Hunter" by Pavel Hristov.

I knew from the beginning I wanted to sculpt every part of the character in ZBrush. Here is a preview from low to high poly. 

The only part I didn't create in ZBrush was the ropes which I made in Maya using curves.

Once I was satisfied with my sculpt I moved on to Marmoset to bake and get the appropriate maps for Substance Painter. There, I only worked in the base color, as I wanted to handpaint every detail.

The skirt went through many trials and errors. In the end, I decided to make it in ZBrush by combining seperate pieces together with one big piece underneath.

Here are also a few close-ups of the weapon.

Final renders

My second project is based on Sveta Pikul's art "Horned"

I loved the concept and, at the same time, I wanted to add my own elements to it.

I started by sculpting in ZBrush.

When I was done with sculpting, I baked in Substance Painter and started texturing there.
Again, as with the previous project, I wanted to show the handpainted details.

Now the last part of the character was to create the hair. For this, I used Maya's Xgen.

In the end I rendered in Maya and here is the final result.
