Stylized Character

Stylized character bust based on Kael'thas from World of Warcraft. This character was mostly a style exploration for one of three styles I'm currently making, to showcase three different levels of detail, while still being something that can be done relatively quickly. This model has little handpainting (the face and the metallic part being the exception). It is mostly a high poly to low poly with a layer setup in Substance Painter, with some added details like the black comic lines, inspired by Marvel Rivals and Dragon Ball FighterZ. The design itself is based on several illustrations, mostly from Hearthstone, and less so on the character in WoW. Specifically, "Savior Kael'Thas'" by Mooncolony was a big inspiration. https://mooncolony.artstation.com/projects/WB2BPX
