Self Made Man

Game Production Ready Character

The Process

Self Made Man is a production-ready character who reveals his carefully constructed LEGO abdomen—symbolizing the result of his hard work—while subtly hiding the syringe embedded in his LEGO head, a quiet nod to the hidden struggles behind his transformation. His shy, reserved pose reflects his timid personality and the vulnerability of his journey.​

​

Built from the ground up, this character embodies the idea of self-construction—presenting the polished final product, yet concealing the sacrifices and tools that shaped him.

​

Skills:

 

1) Sculpting Form
2) UV Mapping
3) Retopology
4) Texturing

The task was to create a fully production-ready character that adhered closely to a provided concept—and this piece delivers both technically and narratively.
