original concept art is by Loish https://loish.net/project/lava/

A 3D sculpt I made based on one of the concepts by Loish. Here I focused on practicing sculpting and texturing. For my day to day work I do a lot of optimized 3D models, focusing on performance and realism. This side project gave me an opportunity to explore stylized work and learn a lot of new techniques. I sculpted the model in Zbrush and textured it in Substance painter. Lighting, AO and shadows are handpainted. For the final render I took the model back to Maya and rendered it in Vray. I know I could keep working on adding details but for now, I am calling it done and moving on to my next project.
