The Ancient Traveller

This is my project for Fourth Dimensional Tourist. 

Character Background:

This character is a nomad, a travelling merchant. In his time it was said that he travelled through all the empires, been to every town and walked on every road. However, his intentions were not pure at heart. He wasn’t an evil man, but he was greedy, a sly merchant that would sell anything for coin. Thus, one day, a trickster spirit made a deal with him: to satisfy his hunger for gold, in exchange for his soul.

Little did the traveller know that the spirit would use his body for his own greed, to collect other souls. They are now sharing one body, the merchant looking for his gold, and the spirit collecting the souls of the lost wanderers.

In game NPC function:

The purpose of the traveller is now to guide you through the map. In the beginning, he will show you the ways to navigate and present you the different nations. Later, through a quest line, you will get friendly with the spirit and he will be willing to use his magic and teleport you in specific checkpoints and major cities.

This was the most complex character I have ever worked on. I got to learn so many new techniques, from sculpting, to retopology, texturing and even rendering. Overall I am proud of what I have managed to achieve, and I am really determined to become even better with each project.
