The Leper

The Leper was my capstone project for the Character Artist Bootcamp led by mentors Ryan Kingslien and Mario Stabile at Vertex School. It was an amazing experience and am extremely grateful by the richness of feedback I received while attending the course by both the mentors and fellow students.

The inspiration for this piece comes from Darkest Dungeon's Leper playable hero, originally concepted by Chris Bourassa and the Red Hook team, which I promptly reimagined in a more realistic (and PBR-friendly) model while maintaining his key design. There's a far more detailed breakdown at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/dO1dJX as well as a short tutorial on how the tassets where both modeled and textured on https://www.artstation.com/artwork/Kax0J9
