Jin Zhen the Seamstress

Jin Zhen (金针), she's an undead sorcerer who is nicknamed 'The Seamstress'. Who brought her back to life or made her is unknown, but rumour has it she can manipulate a person's red string of fate.

I designed her based of the vintage 'Singer' sewing machine, with a touch of oriental Chinese elements. I was inspired by my favourite game, Identity V,that has characters that look like dolls. Though in terms of texturing style, i was going for handpainted look like League of Legends. This was my first time doing a handpainted character model, and would definitely want to try it again in the future.

Modelling, rigging and rendering done in 3dsMax, high-poly in zbrush, handpainted textures in substance painter.
