WINTER WANDERER | FORTNITE FANART

Hey Guys.This character is a survivor in a post-apocalyptic world destroyed by an unknown virus. The design was initially intended to be dark and atmospheric, but influenced by the New Year's mood and winter holidays, it gained a cozy and festive look with details like a Christmas sweater.

The work was created to explore the style and approach to character design in Fortnite. I was inspired by the lightness, brightness, and expressiveness of the game's characters, and I aimed to convey this aesthetic in my work.

Creation process:
- Sculpting was done in ZBrush.
- Retopology and Mapping— in Blender
- Baking normal maps and other textures — in Marmoset Toolbag.
- Texturing — in Substance Painter.
- Pose using the Auto-Rig plugin in Blender

I paid special attention to the folds in the clothing to make them more realistic and expressive. This was an important learning step, and I'm glad that with each work, it gets better!
