I've always been inspired by Nico Marlet's amazing character designs and style. So it was time to take the plunge. Using this style guide as my inspiration, I designed a viking and dove into bringing him to life. Arrrrgh!
I normally sketch out my initial ideas first on paper before I dive into 3D, but for this one I decided to go with the flow and do it all in 3D to see where it took me.
Finally a new sculpt! For the past 6 months I've been sculpting on projects in which I can't post the maquettes. So it was time to sculpt one to post. I decided to keep it as a clay sketch, more rough around the edges. Here's to top hats, butterflies, and a bit of inspiration from Bellatrix Lestrange's hair....Enjoy!
Sketches to final sculpt!
