3D Artist Andrey has created this pin-headed Priest of Thorns from Thiago Lehmanns concept. Inspired by games like Dark Souls and Elden Ring, Andrey aimed to faithfully translate a 2D concept into a 3D character. In this article, he talks about, goals, design, tools, sculpting, lowpoly, UVs, baking & texturing, rendering & lighting. Andrey has experimented with different materials and masks for texturing, including cool metallic effects.
