Queen of the Nile

Lovely Concept Art by : https://www.artstation.com/artwork/49Vz1L

This project is a stylized 3D character illustration I started about five months after beginning my training at Artside School Online.
I chose this stylized Egyptian Goddess for her strong shapes and because I felt she had great potential for handpainted textures combined with PBR materials.

For school, I was only asked to complete the ZBrush sculpt, but I decided to pick up the project again a year later to practice my texturing and optimization skills.
My handpainted textures are inspired by the visual style of Arcane (Riot Games / Fortiche), especially when it comes to gold rendering, color accents, and facial detailing.

I wanted to explore a hybrid look between handpainted texture work and PBR rendering, similar to what Wayfinder did in its art direction.

I also want to thank all the teachers who gave me feedback on this project:
