Wooden Sumo : Earthquake

I created Earthquake for the 2023 Artstation Challenge Neotokyo!

This was my first time handpainting and tackling a fully stylized character. I learned so much on this journey and I'm so grateful to everyone that offered me feedback and watched my progress. I genuinely am so happy I got it done cause I was juggling this with my actual work.

Callout Sheet

Despite baking down my sculpt details, I only had to use a diffuse map. I used the baked details to create the color base on Substance Painter and continued handpainting in 3DCoat.
