This study came from a feedback session with one of my students.
The original model was already good and structurally solid, but it still lacked some of the refinement that gives a character stronger presence and anatomical clarity.
Through a series of subtle adjustments — improving anatomical landmarks, muscle tension, facial structure and overall form flow — the character was pushed to a more convincing and polished result.
The images show a comparison between the “Good” version and the “Better” version after these refinements.
I also recorded a video showing the sculpting adjustments.
The full feedback video is available for my students inside Savage Academy, where I mentor artists through the complete character creation pipeline.
This Took 1 day for the sculpt and 1 day for the renders and final adjustments.
Thanks!
