STYLIZED BUST
Kim Kitsuragi
Recreation of one of my loved main character called Kim Kitsuragi from the game “Disco Elysium”.
My goal has been creating an appealing stylized face, and more importantly, making handpainted-like textures inside Substance Painter.
Preserving the recognizable features of a well-known character's face presents a unique challenge, especially when aiming to infuse a personal touch and undertake a hand-painted texture study simultaneously.
Maintaining the essence of the facial expressions was paramount in my approach. It was crucial to capture the overall feel of the character's gestures, ensuring that the personality and mood remained instantly identifiable. To achieve this, I implemented acrilyc textures to seamlessly blend the existing traits with my artistic interpretation.
Encouraged by the results of this project, I decided to also recreate his characteristic outfit by exploring and using the body types provided by "Marvelous Designer", an industry-standard tool, while maintaining the stylized look established in the bust.
