Sunken Statue -Rising Star

My first 3D character! The brief I chose was 'emotion embodied' and I wanted my character to appear as peaceful as possible. The final character is accompanied by his clownfish friend :)

I used blender to sculpt and retopo, and Photoshop/ Substance Painter for the hand painted textures. As I was doing this in my final year of college I chose to create a bust of a character, this was achievable in terms of scope, and it works well with the sunken statue theme.
