Heavenly Guardian
3D Modeling
Software: Maya, ZBrush, Photoshop, Substance Painter
2023
"Heavenly Guardian" is a digital art project that features a statue inspired by a real statue from China during the Song Dynasty. I used ZBrush to recreate and sculpt the statue in detail, striving to capture the essence and beauty of the original statue.
To showcase the statue, I created a temple environment inspired by an environment artist. The temple serves as a fitting backdrop for the statue, emphasizing its importance and significance. I used Substance Painter to add intricate details and textures to the surfaces of the temple.
The project's name, "Heavenly Guardian," reflects the idea of a divine and powerful figure serving as a protector or god. The statue's placement in the temple environment further emphasizes its significance.
Overall, "Heavenly Guardian" is a digital art project that reflects my passion for art, history, and culture. I put a lot of effort and attention to detail into the project to create a final result that accurately represents the beauty and significance of the original statue. I hope that this project will inspire and captivate those who appreciate the rich cultural heritage of ancient China.
Final Result
Movie
I also made this small movie to showcase the environment. However, I used a low-poly model for the statue to save the render time.
