Gnome Character

This was a super fun and relatively quick sculpt and still-shot rendered for a character collaboration. No references other than my own hand and fist for this dude's little hands.

For Blender folks, this uses the particle based hair system. I used a leather material from Polyhaven for the boots and a wooden material from Polyhaven for the stick. Other than that, the rest are procedural materials, nothing fancy.

His head was sculpted from the default Quad sphere. I added a cube for the body and extruded out the arms, feet, and legs.

Initial clay render.
