Bri Nicol says it was easy to find good references.
Who doesn't like cute animals? Certainly not Bri Nicol, a character artist who shared an absolutely adorable 3D render of a little crab made using ZBrush, Maya, Substance 3D Painter, and Unreal Engine.
The crab looks realistic and stylized at the same time; Nicol has definitely worked hard on the details to stay close to an image of the real animal, references to which were easy to find, according to the artist.
Nicol's 3D projects are available on ArtStation if you want to enjoy more works in this style.
