The Barbarian | Realtime UE5 Character

A character I created for our portfolio course at The Game Assembly. The character is a fully game ready, Unreal Engine 5 compatible, inspired by Conan The Barbarian pulling inspiration from the live action movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and various comic variants. The Barbarian never backs down in the face of adversity.
‎
The project timeline was half-time during 6 weeks of production with a heavy focus on anatomy, organics, fur/hair creation and rendering and Unreal Engine 5 workflow for characters. The character uses a base Metahuman mesh for the exposed body areas which I heavily edited in Zbrush focusing on anatomy with broadness and grittyness as the main focus for the entire sculpt.
Fur and Hair breakdown can be viewed in this post: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/98Yeoo
