The first human 3d model I ever made!

CONTEXT/BEHIND THE SCENES:

The game this character comes from is a Game Gear game called "Shining Force Gaiden II", or as it was called in the west, "Shining Force: Sword of Hajia". It's a strategy JRPG, similar to Fire Emblem. This was later re-released on the Sega CD.

When making this, I had a conversation with chaomix from Youtube about PS1 anime games, and he told me about Megaman Legends. You can totally see the inpiration from it in this, it's quite evident.

Then I had to make some creative liberties. The hair differed between the art and the game, so I chose to do a blend between the two.

WIP MODEL:

Of course, this model is rough around the edges, but overall, it was a good start.
