I have a lot of favorite artists, there are many domestic talents in China as well - we must continue to learn (▔＾▔). I like prototypes a lot. Takeya Takayuki is one of my favorite sculptors: his work is consistently amazing, and he is good at making asymmetric, hands-on models that are uniquely charming.

How I made the orc

The Orc project has been in the back of my head for a long time. At work, I use the Chinese aesthetic style, so in my personal time, I love to do different things, like monsters. I played World of Warcraft when I was a student, and I am such a fan of the game that I have always wanted to reproduce its characters. I chose to portrait Hellscream: he represents the extraordinary physical power of orcs and the fighting spirit of someone who refuses to become a slave.

Unfortunately, I ended up having little time for the realization of this portrait, so I had to simplify the schedule：

Finish the high-poly mesh UVs in ZBrush

Paint only a half body

Finish the texture in Substance Painter

I spent almost 90 hours on the high-poly mesh and inserted some my own ideas for accessories and other elements. The most complex part definitely was the hair: I made it in ZBrush.
