Frost Project | Portrait

Inspired by the amazing & fascinating artist Ruan Jia & based on the beautiful concept art called Frost. This passion project was a challenge yet really rewarding & a delight to realize in 3d. It was a lot of fun learning & exploring while delving into apps & techniques.

I focused mostly on trying to translate the 2d essence to 3d through careful proportion, color, lighting & materials while using Zbrush & Maya for landmarks, Xgen for hair, Zbrush/Mari for face & skin, 3ds Max/Railclone for armor, earrings & necklaces, Marvelous under-garment, and painter for texturing of hard-surface elements.
