Rookie of the year 3D Character Artist submission Athul Haridas

Hi, I'm a self-taught 3D character artist, and my journey into 3D art began just last year. My aspiration is to become a successful character artist. With a background in photorealistic drawing over several years, I was inspired by incredible 3D works, which ultimately helped me realize my true passion. Here are some of my creations from the past year.

I’m excited to share my 3D render of the talented actress Sadie Sink, known for her role in Stranger Things. This project took me two months to complete, meticulously sculpting and refining every detail. Starting from a basic mesh, I used various tools and techniques to achieve a realistic likeness. Each texture was hand-painted, and the final render captures her distinct features and expression. This piece reflects my dedication and passion for 3D character modeling. I hope you enjoy viewing it as much as I enjoyed creating it. Your feedback is always welcome as I continue to hone my skills.

Hi here is a 3D model of the prime minister of India Shri Narendra Modi. I completed it in 1 month. My aim is to create likeness as much as possible. So I always prefer Arnold renderer. Also xgen for hair. I wanted to have a real time character for the rookies entry but I was unable to complete it. 

As I am portrait artist. I was always fond of likeness drawing. So all my works are fanart. Here is a 3D render of Heman. The aim was to create a realistic version rather than a stylized version

My last entry for the Rookie awards is the superstar of South Indian Film industry Rajinikanth. This was done using a basemesh from 3Dscanstore. As you have scrolled through till now you may have noticed the quality is not up to the mark as it ends. That is because the last ones are my first few renders. Thank you for checking out my works. I am very grateful for this opportunity. As I am a self taught character artist my presentation is may not be the best. Pardon my mistakes. I am open for all kinds of suggestions.
