I created a new character for a small video game I'm planning to make soon. I used Blender, Substance Painter and Marmoset.

Tomorrow I'll be releasing another game (in collaboration with my friend): Errevale Fall, a short visual-novel hybrid following the story of the monster hunter Leiana and the final days of the town of Errevale. Check out the gameplay trailer here!

First pass at setting up some of the final boss UI
