Vera - eXSert (2026)

Main character for my current university capstone project. While working on her concept turnaround sheet, I made sure to stick to the original character idea as closely as possible while still exploring some creative ideas. I provided several iterations (with many quick sketches not shown here) to our team to vote on and decide which one we liked best. It took several weeks to come to a final design for the character, her gauntlets, and her backpack-generator. I sculpted the high-poly in ZBrush and retopo in Maya; I baked in Marmoset Toolbag 5 and exported my maps into Substance Painter for texturing with hand-painted details.

The gauntlets were made by another artist on the team, Bryan Popp: https://f3dgemist3r.myportfolio.com/pile-driver-gauntlets
