the Dragonfly Queen - Akitsu

For a stylized course I designed a character, a prop and an environment that had to be linked to one of the 7 virtues or sins. I created Akitsu, a dragonfly queen that greedily defends her fountain of youth in a world inspired by Art Nouveau. It was an amazing experience to make my own character concept come alive in 3D, as it was also the first time that I rigged and animated a character fully by myself. The model is also my entry for Grads in Games Rising Star 2023.

Sculpted in Zbrush, textured in Substance Painter, topology, rig and animation done in Autodesk Maya. Rendered in Unreal Engine 5 and Post Production done in Photoshop.
