Steel Hunters - Weaver Trophy Hunter

Weaver - Trophy Hunter - Design and 3D Skin Creation
I was responsible for designing and developing the 3D character skin for the Steel Hunters character, Weaver. Using mesh block-outs and reference imagery, I conceptualized the skin design, ensuring it adhered to the game's artistic style and met all technical requirements as it progressed through the production pipeline.

Skin narrative: "Rebuilt itself with the parts of the opponents it had defeated"
Skeleton: Reused entirely from the base Weaver character.
Armor: Fully designed and all new components modelled by me
(Various hunter parts were repurposed, combined to share a single texture set and geometry adjusted to fit the design)
Weapon: Reused entirely from the base Weaver character.
