Sir Loin of Beef

Follow along as I sculpt Sir Loin of Beef, a full stylized character project created from start to finish in ZBrush.

This course walks through the entire process of building a polished stylized character, from the early blockout all the way through sculpting, refinement, color, materials, texturing, and presentation. You’ll see how I approach proportion, appeal, silhouette, costume pieces, posing, and all the little decisions that help a character feel designed instead of just detailed.

You’ll also get a look at the texturing process in Substance Painter with guest instructor Brendon Isaiah Bengtson, who walks through how to bring the character to life with materials, color, and surface treatment.

This is a great fit if you want to see a full character come together over time, with the kind of problem-solving, adjustments, and refinements that happen in a real sculpting workflow.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Start a character with a strong blockout
  • Build appealing stylized proportions
  • Sculpt armor, cloth, hair, and accessories
  • Refine forms without overworking the model
  • Texture the character in Substance Painter
  • Think through pose, silhouette, and character appeal
  • Add color, materials, and presentation passes
  • Take a character from rough idea to finished render

Perfect for artists who want a deeper look at the full stylized character creation process, from sculpt to textured final presentation.
