About This Project

The Moon Witch project was an exploration into creating an enigmatic and powerful sorceress character, drawing inspiration from lunar aesthetics and dark fantasy themes. The primary goal was to develop a visually compelling character suitable for cinematics or as a high-detail game character.

Key focus areas included intricate costume details, expressive facial features, and a material language that suggested ancient magic and celestial power. The development involved concept sketching, high-fidelity sculpting, and detailed texturing to bring her to life.
