Check Out This Manga-Style 3D Berserk Illustration Made With Blender

If you were to mention the words "Berserk" and "3D" in one sentence in a conversation with a Berserk fan, chances are said conversation would end rather prematurely, all thanks to the legendary manga's 2016 adaptation that has since become well-known even to outsiders due to its poorly-made CGI models. However, 3D Artist and Illustrator Ikhimaz has recently made an effort to challenge this negative perception, unveiling a splendid piece of Berserk fan art created entirely in 3D.

Portraying the series' protagonist Guts donning the Berserker Armor, the illustration boasts an stunning manga-like visual style, making it incredibly easy to mistake the artwork for a 2D painting when looking at the static renders only:

Nonetheless, the project is 100% 3D and was made by Ikhimaz using Blender, a popular free and open-source 3D software. Attached below is a Viewport vs. Final comparison shared by the artist that proves that it is indeed CG:

In addition, the creator has shared a couple of screenshots that offer an in-production look at the model:
