Mouse Mage
A sculpt inspired by the work of David Petersen's Mouse Guard comic series. I wanted to create an original character design that looks like it could belong in the Mouse Guard world. Although there are no real magic casters in the series so far, I got fascinated with the idea of a wizard-like design.
Concept sketch of character to model.
Low-detail shapes added and model is posed. The pedestal/stand was a later idea once I realized the potential for 3D printing.
Accessories added and more detail given to head, body, and weapon.
Character's ears are more detailed and facial furs are added.
Body and arm furs are added, and poly-painting begins.
Furs are now dynameshed to body and poly-paint of character is completed.
Final turnaround of character. Rendered in ZBrush itself.
