For this project, I wanted to explore a darker, more emotional, stylized look, taking one of my favorite video games and blending it with my favorite show: Arcane. Sculpted in Zbrush, hand-painted in Substance Painter, with dynamic lighting and a toon-based shader setup in Arnold. The hair was created with XGen and custom shading to match the stylized feel.
I’m putting together a full breakdown, similar to the one I did for Zuko. The shader + video tutorials were added to my previous course as free material.
Made with Maya, Substance Painter, ZBrush, Arnold, and XGen.
