This is the first pass on my NPC 3D sculpt. My design is based on multiple depictions of Japanese Kodama, which are forest spirits. I wanted the design to be a little cute, but simultaneously alien and unnerving. One of the ways I wanted to convey that was an asymmetrical head, imbalanced eyes, twig-like fingers, and insect-inspired legs.Moving forward I want to combine the components and blend them together (the neck and arms), as well as incorporate engravings like in the image below. This model will likely not have eyes.
