One More Round - Naail
Introducing Naail, the main character of our student film for my second year at NAD-UQAC.
I was in charge of the concept art, modelling, texturing, and shading of the characters using ZBrush, Marmoset, Maya, Substance Painter, and Houdini.
This was my first time making a character from A-Z! It was an insane learning experience for me, and a huge opportunity for growth.
Naail is a boisterous ring fighter training with his rival Shen Yi, with a more or less sportsmanlike attitude.
This film is being produced alongside my colleagues and friends, Joëlle Comeau, Gabrielle Leblanc, Ayat Inesse Oualhaci, and Léana Gauvin, who I would like to thank for their support and their effort, as well as our teachers for their guidance.
