Idea

The first step in creating a 3D character model is conceptualizing the idea. For this project, I started with the idea of creating a creature like Vecna from Stranger Things but changed it to a combination of Aghori and a vampire. However, it did not come out well, and I decided to create a vampire creature. I collected references and artefacts to make a reference board in PureRef, which helped me in the subsequent stages of modelling. It is essential to have a clear idea of the character to be modelled to ensure that the model’s final output meets the specifications.

My main references for creating the ‘Vampire’ were inspired by the artwork of Abner Marin and the 3D model of Batman’s Nightmare Statue.
