Angel Statue - Holy Poly Game Model WIP

I sculpted this model in Zbrush starting with a sphere and using Dynamesh, as well as some zspheres were used for the body base. This is the high poly model, whereby I'll create a low-game res version of it and texture it to be used as an in game prop. More updates to come.

Character Silhouettes

Still practicing some drawing before getting back into 3D again. Here are some original character silhouettes sketched in photoshop. These are villain type characters differing in physique and ability but pretty much part of the same clan, a kind of dark, tech savvy Samurai brotherhood during the Edo period.
