Gaara's Gourd (Naruto)

3D Model

Gaara’s gourd from naruto, used to carry weaponized sand.

This is my interpretation of what Gaara’s gourd could look like in the real world if it were made from realistic materials. The gourd is made of clay, with the cloth band in the middle consisting of a silk-like fabric. I assumed the symbols around the gourd to be talismans, and gave them the appearance of being “stuck on” to the gourd.

This one was a lot of fun, and really triggered my nostalgia!

UPDATE: I added some new texture details to the gourd, changing the glossiness to give it more of a sandy appearance. I also added small reflective flecks to the sand.
