Hey guys!  
Here’s my latest Realtime character project, based on an awesome concept by Tao he. I tried to staying true to the original 2D aesthetic and created the “fire hair” FX to bring it to life.

Translating 2D designs into 3D is always an enjoyable process!

Some highpoly parts made in blender. Retopology, shading, UV packing, Fire FX and rendering also in Blender (eevee).

The skull shape of the character’s chest is so gnarly and cool! I love that. 🔥
