I&#8217;m currently a student in the Game Art Master program at New3dge. Since my childhood, I have always been interested in art, especially comics and manga. That&#8217;s where my artistic journey began.<\/p>\n<p>I started 3D at New3dge. At first, I was mostly interested in concept art, but when I discovered sculpting, I fell in love with the way I could play with forms and shapes. It really feels like 2D sketching. For me, it was a new way to express myself and create what I wanted, with everything becoming much clearer and more precise in 3D space.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still a student, so for now I haven&#8217;t contributed to any major projects. However, last year, I worked on a group project with my classmates, where I was in charge of designing and sculpting two creatures. If you&#8217;re interested, you can check out the project <a href=\"https:\/\/www.therookies.co\/entries\/37669\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This was an assignment for New3dge from last year, under the supervision of Adrien Simon (an amazing teacher who taught me a lot). The main goal was to create a 3D model based on a 2D illustration and make it as accurate as possible.<\/p>\n<p>For me, it was one of my first stylized characters, so I needed to use a lot of references from existing artworks to understand how to stylize my shapes properly. I was mostly inspired by the work of Thibaut Granet and Kirill Senzu. My focus was to achieve a clean and dynamic sculpt, even though it was an unlit render, because I wanted to get more comfortable with sculpting in ZBrush and improve my understanding of shape simplification and stylization.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t a project focused on game optimisation, but rather a training piece to improve my sculpting skills and create a strong final render (almost like an illustration). I was a bit afraid at first, because when you&#8217;re a beginner, breaking symmetry and sculpting directly in a dynamic pose feels uncomfortable and stressful. But it helped me gain confidence in my skills and taught me a lot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Introduction Hi, I&#8217;m Selman Bernis, from France, 22 years old.
