This was my first proper character design, and i was kind of rushed. i had to make the character, the setting, the props and do the renders in a little under a month. This is partially why the environment and render doesn't look amazing, plus my inexperience with the whole subject (the last character i modelled before this one was the zombie one on my profile). Though i learned a LOT from this project; clothing modelling, normal map baking, and substance painting a character all jumped leaps and bounds from when i started.
The inspiration for this came from a mishmash of sources; i wanted an attractive character in a less than ideal situation. for the clothing, it was a case of me accidentally picking a pink shirt instead of white before realising he looked kind of like a Far Cry bad guy, which was too juicy of an aesthetic for me to simply pass up. the rest soon followed, making for this unique bright horror cowboy scene.
Of course, everything here is game ready.
