Beast Tamer

Heyo folks! This is a stylized character I created during my participation in Weston Reid's Advanced Stylized Character course (https://www.artstation.com/westonreid). The course finished some time ago, but I recently went back and completed the additional elements from the original concept art.
The character concept and design is by Meng Fan (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/o2PkKO) and depicts a Beast Tamer named Makin, who has an affinity for Pangolin's and the Flute. I found the character to have that fantastic balance of "nice and mean" that defined game characters from the PS1-PS2 era, and I love the idea of pulling that design logic into the modern day with shape language and color choices.
The first two images are captured in Unreal Engine 5, and the sculpt is captured in Zbrush.
