My second project in ZBrush class during spring 2018 semester. The concept starts from how I want to sculpt a floating hair character, which leads to the story of Sea Guardian's story who protects treasure in the temple.
I used reference of stingray to design the clothes and water spin for the weapon. My plan for the body is to let this character remains as human as possible but still have fin and gill with large feet to show that this character lives in water.
The fish beside is based on Queen Angelfish, which symbolized protection, so their meaning supports the role of this main character.
