THE OLD KNIGHT

Possibly a former king, old, drunk, sloppy, simultaneously skinny and fat, underwear lost long ago, not a nickle to his name, but loving life.

This is a character I made for a student film I worked on while at SCAD. The original concept design was created by Stephanie Dvoyak, and it evolved over time with feedback from our peers and the director. I was responsible for 3D sculpting, retopologizing for animation, UV mapping, texturing, lighting and rendering this character.

Software used: Zbrush, Maya, Photoshop, Mari, Topogun, UVLayout, Renderman
