My take on Darth Malak during the Mandalorian Wars, back when he was still a Jedi. This project focused on designing and creating the costume and lightsaber for a fan film project inspired by Star Wars.
The character was initially sculpted in ZBrush, then refined in Autodesk Maya where I finalized the overall look and created the hard-surface assets, including the lightsaber and chest/shoulder armor. The clothing was created in Marvelous Designer, and the final texturing was completed in Adobe Substance 3D Painter.
I really enjoyed exploring a younger version of the character and bringing the design into a more grounded cinematic style.
