Naqshi Head Bust

sketchfab

This is an experimental animation model (and animation for lip sync) that I created as a test of my skills. I took audio from a game character that I admire and reimagined the character to fit the voice perfectly. The inspiration behind the voice came from Vulgrim in "Darksiders." I wanted to see if it was possible to create a character capable of expressing the smug and cunning personality that Vulgrim showcases in his short monologue. You can watch the rendered animation with audio here: https://youtu.be/kZfR1MQGePk. I designed Naqshi as a shaman with serpentine features combined with a South American/Mayan warrior style. The head was sculpted in Zbrush, hand retopologized in Zbrush, and polypainted in Zbrush.
