Shen Lee The Samouraï - OC

My first character !
Really enjoyed the process !

I started my work with some research on references, as i wanted to do a samouraï kind of character.
I did a concept /model sheet, then i started to sculpt in Zbrush to do a quick blocking and i added some pieces with 3dsmax.
I refined details and did a basic retopology all in Zbrush.
Then i worked on Uv's in 3dsmax and once finished, i used substance painter to texture and paint.
Last steps are in marmoset.
I used a basic 3points lighting with a simple Hdri, worked on some post effects and that's about all !

spécial Thanks to Nicolas Vallée and Thierry Avelange for help and support.
