I feel very privileged having the chance to tackle this big piece for Wētā Workshop collectibles. It was very difficult at times with so many layers of stuff and a lot going on. Oh man...
All the details needed to convey the character were necessary so I'm glad we can see it all in the final print as well, even with the translucency effects!

Even though I was the Principal Sculptor, this is clearly a team effort. I'm sharing what I had on my screen when I finished, but so much more needed to happen in order for it to become a finished product, so I'm happy to share the credits.

I'm also building a whole new 3D learning platform (Portuguese only for now), so you can have a look if you wish:

Thank you!
