Aliku Nadû (Kudû)

Project Summary

Aliku Nadû, meaning "The Clever Repairer” in old Akkadian language. I’m really excited to finally share this concept. This is the main character I designed for The Extra Mile course's new program and what I use as my demo to cover everything in my workflow from sketching, sculpting, texturing all the way through rendering and compositing.
