2B from NieR Automata #9: Finalization – Fan Art sculpting with ZBrush

This is the ninth part of the fan art figurine creation series that was broadcasted on ZBrushLIVE. Using ZBrush, Thomas digitally sculpts 2B of the NieR Automata video game using fan art as reference.

For this sessions, Thomas focused on the finalization of the whole character and pose of both 2B and the Pod.
Folds added to the clothes, usage of the Clay Polish effect, pose of the hands, filling some parts to create true volumes for the future 3D printing process, with the help of multiple tools, including the Live Boolean mode.

Next part will be about the preparation of the 3D printing process.
