Have a Look at Fairytale-Like 3D Take on Frankelda Made Using ZBrush

Character Modeler Michelle Arreola presented this magical 3D take on Frankelda, the protagonist of the recently released 2025 Mexican animated movie I Am Frankelda.

The 3D artwork is based on the work by Artist Crystalbeastie, and Michelle Arreola masterfully captured the character's traits, transferring them to 3D while keeping the cartoon style. The 3D portrait was crafted using ZBrush, Maya, and Blender.
