The plight of Ashiya

I’m happy to share my new project form Mentorship term at Think Tank Training Centre, mostly based on this concept by Sun Haiyang:

This character was made with the intent of showcasing my Modeling, Sculpting, Texturing, Grooming, Look-dev skills. In the process of making this piece I’ve failed at multiple points and I had to learn new techniques and polish my existing skills to make it work.
I would like to thank everyone who has supported me through this journey at Think Tank. Also massive thanks to my mentor Vinicius Favero, who guided me through the whole process.
I hope you enjoy this work of mine thoroughly!
