The Cave Guardian

Zbrush Concept Sculpt

-

The Cave Guardian is an original concept I designed, and then sculpted and posed within Zbrush. The creature is a combination of leopard shark and jaguar anatomy, with a few other minor anatomical elements added in from other species. This sculpt was grounded in realism, with a sci-fi flare.

Tools: Zbrush

Responsible for all aspects - November 2020

For the Cave Guardian concept art, I wanted to make sure my cat anatomy was as close to spot-on as possible before moving onto sculpting. I referenced mostly Jaguar anatomy, and mixed in elements from other aquatic life - leopard shark tail and gills, white catfish whiskers, shark skin texture, etc.
