  2. Of What? • Faithful 3d rendition of a Magic The Gathering character. • Fully sculpt in ZBrush, retopologized for game use, displayed in Unreal. • Ajani Vengeant, game ready.

  3. Stretch • To have a High poly model of Liliann, The Last Hope.

  4. Why? • When I am modeling I don’t feel like I’m working. • I like creating a story through a character’s appearance. • I’m a fan of the art style of the MTG card game.
