3D Model

Student Personal Project Body and hair modeled in ZBrush, clothing created in Marvelous Designer, other bits in Maya. Retopologized in Maya and ZBrush, textured in Substance Painter. Rendered in IRay.

Original concept of a stylized Monk-type character I made about a year ago. I didn’t actually concept her in the Overwatch style, but I wanted to push myself to finally model her. I decided to combine my desire to study the Overwatch aesthetic and learn techniques for stylized hair by tweaking the concept to better match the game’s look. I would’ve liked to model her in full, but scoped only a bust of the upper body due to a deadline of less than 4 weeks on top of other work. I added to the quite unpolished base concept a bit and gained lots of experience in new techniques for future work.

The model’s LoD is a bit between game-res and cinematic, boasting a high poly count and high res textures for just a bust. I would definitely cut it back if/when I model the whole character.
