This is a high resolution game model inspired by Hella, the Norse Goddess of the Dead. It's not meant to be a literal interpretation, but there are enough parallels with the design that I thought the name was fitting. I created this 3d model from concepts painted by Herman Ng. This model is ~29k triangles, with multiple high resolution textures. It's not optimized at all because the goal was to see what kind of quality I could achieve without worrying about restrictions.
I used Maya, Zbrush, 3dCoat, Xnormal, BodyPaint, and Photoshop. Real time rendering with Marmoset Toolbag.
My thinking was that instead of literally being half decayed, she's more like "dead" on the inside which the stuff coming out of her back is alluding to. Yea, it's a bit of a stretch, I admit! I definitely don't claim any authenticity to this.
beautiful details
