The Courtesan

Hi everyone!
This character is the result of months worth of work where I decided to step up and raise my skills across the board. My main focus was achieving the quality of some VFX works I've seen around before.
My main inspiration came from Japanese illustrators, anime and artistic/studio photography.
Many of the techniques implemented here were learned from different tutorial sources.
The main sculpt was done in Zbrush, texturingXYZ maps were used for face/hand detailing and albedo base. Hair was done using Xgen. For her kimono, I used Marvelous Designer and then refined it in Zbrush before sending it to Maya. Rendering was done in Arnold.
Overall, I feel pretty satisfied even though as an artist we are always looking for ways to improve.

I hope everyone enjoys looking at my art as much as I liked creating and taking it to completion.
