With this character, my main goal was to convey all of the details of the concept. Since the design for this character was created by one of my favorite artists - Cory Loftis, I wanted to delve into what artistic decisions he makes.
One of the biggest discoveries for me in this work was how important it is to add color variations and gradients to every element of the character. This brings the work to life and integrates all the elements of the character into a coherent picture.
One of the best examples I’ve seen of a 2d painted look carried over to 3d, quite stunning attention to detail as well, and that hair texturing, damn that’s good!
