Have a Look at This Surreal 3D Character Based on a 2D Illustration

Ange Capitaine, 3D Character and Creature Artist, shared on their ArtStation a project they made for a Mentorship Project at the Think Tank Training Center.

The character is based on an illustration created by Jiun Qui, whose main idea was to create a character and a universe that exists within a tear, making the viewer think and imagine the things we don't usually see with our naked eye.

Capitaine said in the post that they created the 3D model with the help of Character Artist, Piotr Zieliński, who gave them feedback to perfect their artwork. They also listed their workflow: 

• Base made using the MetaHuman character basemesh
• Sculpted in ZBrush
• Clothes made in Marvelous Designer
• Retopologized in Topogun
• UVs done in Rizom UV
• Bakes done in Adobe Substance 3D Painter and Marmoset Toolbag
• Textured in Adobe Substance 3D Painter, Sampler, and Designer
• LookDev, Materials, and Rendering done in UE 5.6
• Hair made in Houdini using the MetaHuman for Houdini Plug-in and Maya X-Gen

The character looks mesmerizing, with surreal details that make you wonder about her story. The artist also shared part of the rendering and UVs process:

And here are some WIPs of the ZBrush process:
