3D Ellie from The Last of Us Recreated in Arcane Style

Mani Salguero combined two of his favorite franchises in his 3D model of Ellie from The Last of Us created in the Arcane-inspired style.

The project was completed using Maya, ZBrush, Substance 3D Painter, Arnold, and XGen.

Salguero also added a new full chapter based on Ellie to his NPR course on making a hand-painted character with a 2D look, included for free to all current students.

His approach bleeds into other models, like Zuko from Avatar and his painterly shader, which you can find on LinkedIn and ArtStation.
