This sculpt started as a quick 30 minute sketch exercise, but I put in about 150 minutes to give a little detail to the stones that make up the character. I ran this exercise for the second year art students as a teaching assistant at the Academy of Interactive Entertainment. The concept art is by Chet Zar and was chosen for the complexity of form, pose, and detail while being able to be pulled from a sphere. The goal of these exercises is to increase the speed at which concepts can be done.
