Used Black Sails as a main reference and another 3D references from other artists who inspire me.

Once you are happy with your references, it’s time to get your hands dirty. So, first step is blockout, where you need block the whole shape of the character without thinking through details. The idea is get a good shape to start working with. At this point we can even use base meshes to speed up the process but be sure to think how it will be used later.
