SIR. THONAIL

SIR. THONAIL

Hi there! my project made during the master at  skyup academy , I loved designing my own character and being able to sculpt it 3D. 

I hope you'll enjoy it ! 

The first step was to design my character, study the anatomy and possible choices of costumes and shapes. I loved every step of the making of this work. 

let's start sculpting!

During the blocking phase of my sculpture, I studied  the volumes and anatomy of my character. 

the most important and fun phase was also studying the shape of the wig and how it tied in with the shape of the character. I often checked the character's siluetthe to check the legibility of my little friend. 

Another very important step is to choose the gesture of my little friend. I thought :  "what personality does he have?",  " is he vain?",   "what do I want to convey?". I asked myself a lot of questions and did some testing . 

IT COULD WORK!  

I would like  to share with you more evidence of finding lights for the final render . I thought about my favorite movie " the goonies" , my character is a pirate and thief so it seemed fitting.

But it didn't convince me and I chose another option ... 

but you : "You had me at "hello". 

This was the right choice. The dark red conveys nobility and elegance and evokes an ancient world. I love Norse mythology and fantasy and being able to do it in 3D was unique. 

et voilà! 

SIR. THONAIL, a spriggan and eccentric thief,  who loves beautiful women, elegant clothes and  he likes to wear women's wigs. 

thank you for your time and hope you enjoyed it .
