This project started out as my take on the elf race from the Dragon Age series, then morphed into game-res hair practice, and eventually evolved into a full character bust. Not based off of any character or design in particular, just an invented character using a variety of photo refs. It was an incredibly fun project that was way out of my comfort zone, but I'm really happy with the final result! Jacket created in Marvelous Designer, character sculpted in ZBrush, textured in Substance Painter, and rendered in Marmoset Toolbag. High-poly sculpt rendered in Keyshot.
Special thanks to my friends on Discord for their invaluable advice and feedback, and to the Twitter folk who helped me come up with a name for her!
