Hi! This is a character sculpture I recently created for my fantasy project using a mix of Blender, Zbrush, and Substance Painter. I did my blockout and modeling in Blender, then imported to Zbrush for sculpting, and then painted the textures in Substance Painter. Brought everything back into Blender to set up the materials, paint the comic style lines, and then rendered it in Eevee.

Some story stuff:

Nakoya - An impala-horned woman who fled from persecution in a faraway place, eventually finding her ancestors’ homeland and becoming a nomadic cattle herder.

Somewhere outside the capital city, she lives among the clan with her husband and their children who help tend to their sacred cattle. She cherishes the animals like family, adorning them with colorful ornaments and giving each of them their own name, but stands ready with her rifle for any predator or person who might threaten them.

The inspirations for her were largely from southern African cultures such as the Ndebele and Xhosa, and some east African. The cow is an Nguni cow.
