Rissa: Original D&D Character
Summer 2021 - I started a new Dungeons & Dragons campaign with friends. In addition to drawing all of our characters, I wanted to continue to realize my tiefling trickster cleric, Rissa, in 3D.
Her aesthetic was inspired by early 20th century French absinthe advertisements, and the way she communes with her god, Olidammara, is through a mysterious deck of blood-spattered tarot cards.
Her adventures took place in the Saltmarsh campaign setting.
Various 2D concept and campaign art
An early sculpt to get a feel for her antler-like horns. Sculpt + Polypaint in Zbrush
For a 3D printing course at university, I wanted to make a full-bodied depiction of my character. I sculpted everything in ZBrush from spheres, and decimated the final sculpt in order to print.
The figure stands 18 inches tall, and I am in the process of painting her like a gigantic miniature or collectible figurine.
Below is a ZBrush gallery of the undecimated sculpt.
