Plague Faun - Concept/Practice

This project started as a simple bust, based on a photo I found on Pinterest. As I worked on it, I started to get some Witcher-style creature vibes, so I decided to completely change direction and turn it into a full-body piece—combining anatomy practice, concept art, and some Fibermesh experimentation.
In the end… I wasn’t really sure where it was going.
Still, I learned a few important lessons along the way:
Don’t change the project scope without having a clear plan.
Don’t reinvent the wheel—stick to proven workflows.
Use polygroups.
And most importantly: save your work more often!
Even if it’s not one of my strongest pieces, it’s the first full-body sculpt I’ve completed—so it marks a small milestone in my journey.
Hope you like it!
(As for me… I’m definitely not opening that file again 😅)
