My 3D Characters and Props
Discover a portfolio of intricate 3D character designs, from realistic game models to stylized characters. These designs highlight my skills in sculpting, texturing, and bringing unique personalities to life through detailed and dynamic models.
Demonic Cowboy Showcase
This meticulously sculpted and manually retopologized character embodies strength and intensity. Featuring a muscular, bodybuilder figure, the character is brought to life with hand-painted textures and carefully crafted clothing using Quixel Mixer. The dark leather hat, pants, and boots contrast sharply with the bare upper body, designed to showcase the impressive muscle definition. Rendered and rigged in Unreal Engine, the character is fully equipped with corrective blendshapes for lifelike movement. One striking feature is the illuminated pupils, which give the character a demonic and intense look, adding a layer of eerie mystique to its overall presence.
Hero Warrior Showcase
This hero character stands out with a blend of functionality and style. Featuring an asymmetrical shoulder pad on the left, designed as both armor and a sword scabbard, this unique design highlights the character's duality as a warrior and protector. He carries a pistol holster on his right leg, while high boots and kneepads add to his rugged, battle-ready appearance. Dressed in blue jeans and a Slavic-themed blue shirt, the character embodies a modern hero with a cultural touch. With brown hair and a short beard, styled using Unreal Engine 5's groom system, his realistic appearance is further enhanced by UE5 eye shaders. Built in Blender, the character’s clothing was made from scratch, while the skin and textures were crafted in Quixel Mixer, combining efficiency and creativity in this impressive design.
cellshaded Hero character Showcase
Inspired by Dante from Devil May Cry, this stylized hero character stands out with striking details and a bold design. Featuring brown hair, green eyes, and a signature red coat, the character's look is completed by an armored glove on the left arm, attached to a fully rigged expandable shield. Multiple belts and flowing pieces of clothing add flair, while high boots and black pants enhance the rugged look. Bare-chested beneath the coat, his muscular physique is on display. He carries a triple-barreled revolver, holstered on his belt, and a massive sword on his back that expands to the sides, adding a dramatic touch. Rendered in Unreal Engine 5 with cel-shading, the character was designed for an action-packed game, where he navigates a pre-rendered environment, embodying the ultimate hero archetype.
Demon Head Showcase
This hyper-realistic character bust, sculpted in ZBrush and meticulously retopologized in Blender, exudes a menacing and otherworldly presence. The character's wrinkled, highly detailed face features sharp, pointy teeth and a long, snake-like tongue, with no visible lips. With vampire-like pointy ears and glowing, veiny eyes, the eerie design is enhanced by sculpted pores and subtle peach fuzz for an ultra-realistic finish. His grayish hair contrasts the intimidating vibe, with a punk-inspired style: buzzcut sides and long, groomed strands slicked back on top and at the back. The stubble beard and exposed gums add further grittiness to his appearance. Utilizing Blender's new hair system for eyelashes, eyebrows, and hair, this fully rigged bust is designed for dynamic posing and animation, creating a character that feels both sinister and alive.
Semi Atomatic Pistol Showcase
This semi-automatic pistol, inspired by the Desert Eagle, showcases both power and intricate craftsmanship. The design features partially modeled inner mechanics, giving it an authentic touch. Its wooden handle is carved with the Slavic symbol of Koladník, which can illuminate, adding a mystical and ancient energy to the weapon. This pistol blends realism with cultural symbolism, making it a standout piece in the character’s arsenal.
Quatro barrel revolver showcase
This Quatro Barrel Revolver combines elegance and functionality with its dark metal body adorned with intricate golden ornaments and a sleek golden chassis. The wooden handle adds a classic touch, while the fully rigged design ensures it is ready for dynamic animations. Textures, meticulously crafted in Quixel Mixer, enhance the realism and detail of this striking weapon.
Vampire Drone Showcase
This Vampire Beast is a menacing creature designed for my own pre-rendered project. It features exaggerated muscles, sharp claws, and a glossy, cel-shaded look. Its eyeless face and gaping mouth filled with jagged teeth give it a terrifying, predatory vibe. The sleek, wet appearance adds to its unsettling nature, making it perfect for horror or dark fantasy worlds.
