Bird catcher - forest Troll






My fan art to amazing artworld of fairies by Iris Compiet. It is my second work in this world and I hope not the last one. https://www.instagram.com/iriscompiet/
As Iris described him in Instagram - he’s called the bird catcher and his story will be part of #faerieofthefaultlines.
Just for curiosity and exploration I did his eyelashes using geometry nodes in Blender. You can download it for free om my gumroad

You need blender 3.0+ for this.
For the grass I wanted to try G-scatter , but later I decided to place all grass manually to have more control over the final look. But his grass assets is amazing.
Most of the work done in blender, even 80% of sculpting in blender, zbrush used for pore detailing, Substance painter for texturing .

Seems I have some limit on images so you can Find a little bit more on my artstation https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8e9OD6

Thanks to all in advance

You must be proud of this. I would suggest making image 2, 3 or 4 first in your post because they are better and for the feature thumbnail (maybe wanted the bird). The green hair is awesome.
Only thing I think is the lighting could go from a 7 to a 10, because everything else is at a 9 or 10 (to show more of the shape and cavities and light the super dark places). For the lighting, maybe start at 5 seconds into the last video where you are getting that good light across the back, and then add a front light to show the front. I would also suggest a little more irregularity and kinks in the staff and the horns b/c they seem like perfect CG straight and curved, respectively.

Looks great!!

Amazing, I wonder if this is after re-topology and normal maps etc baked down from a higher poly sculpt?
