I have never spent so much time on a personal project as I have this piece. I did the initial sketch in ZBrush late 2020, then in April of 2021 I began working on it consistently. Now I can finally call it done. I also got the chance to collaborate with Texturing.xyz, testing out their amazing Hyperskin technology. It really adds that next level of microstructure to the skin which gives it a more realistic look.
