Stylized Character Sculpting in ZBrush – Majora & Skull Kid

In this 10 hour course, we will go through, step by step, how to create Skull Kid with Majora’s Mask from the franchise The Legend of Zelda. You will be able to follow along with every step as nothing is skipped or time-lapsed. There’s full commentary for every chapter, giving you insight into how a professional ZBrush character artist works.

FROM A 2D CONCEPT TO A 3D CHARACTER
Most character work starts with a sketch, a piece of concept art, or a reference of the character you want to create. You’ll learn all the necessary techniques to translate a 2D concept into 3D. This concept, in particular, is challenging and iconic which presents itself with a lot of problems to solve in order to get it to look just right in 3D space.
