"Snatchy the 8th Dwarf" / The Gnome Thief
Hello everyone. Excited to share the final version of this character!
Really enjoyed working on this character since there were a lot of cool aspects and details that required different approaches - something I enjoy very much!
The idea of the character I wanted to create was based on mixing the fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin with Snow White and the Seven Dwarves - An unknown 8th dwarf named “Snatchy”, who steals every shiny thing he lays eyes on.
The illustration that I based the character on was made by Filipe Pagliuso, who very kindly agreed to let me adapt his illustration into 3D!
Here are some technical aspects about the character:
- 99,775 total triangles.
- 2 * 4096x4096 Texture Sets.
Software I used in the making of this character was ZBrush, Maya, Blender, xNormal, Substance Painter, Photoshop, and Marmoset Toolbag.
