Stone Weaver 3D
3D art of Taliyah, the Stoneweaver, a character design by Lin Chang. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/1mN3G
With GDC this month, I wanted to fast-track this piece, so I skipped the usual retopo stage and opted for a simple decimated model. This also worked well with such a dynamic static pose, as opposed to something I’d want to animate and thus need good topo.
Base Meshes used are here

Used free base-meshes to build this character (see description)
broken up parts made posing a breeze
Sculpted main details on non-posed mesh.
Used curve tube brush and dynamesh to build the trim lining.
Used color group to make sense of the hair. Built hair strands using curve brushes.
Began posing the sculpted parts to match the pose.
Comparing initial pose and final sculpt.
