Shining Nikki Fanart: 3d sculpt Star Sea
This was an artwork done for a fanart contest for a game called "Shining Nikki" made by Papergames. I do not own the character of Nikki, or the dress design of 'star sea'. I only can take credit for the artwork I created. I managed to get an award in the contest and tied for 18th place in the community favorites category along with another entry. https://fanart.playpapergames.com/a/17765 to see the other fanart entries.
I ended up having to cut down on scope to finish this in time for the contest, so it's only a waist up/bust. Perhaps in the future if I have lost enough of my sanity to where I actually try to sculpt something as complicated as this dress, I'll clean up this piece and sculpt the entire thing as a sorta figurine type thing.
