FAIRYTALE CHARACTERS

3D / CHARACTER DESIGN

Characters from Russian fairy tales, sculpted in Blender.

My first experiment with sculpting in Blender. Baba Yaga, Vasilisa and the Wolf, kept deliberately naive: soft, lumpy and tactile, almost plasticine — as if they had been made by hand rather than by software.

A hand with an apple.

02 / Vasilisa

Vasilisa. 3D sculpt, Blender.

The drawing first: pencil, then colour. Video.

03 / The Wolf

The Wolf. 3D sculpt, Blender.

Each character starts as a drawing on paper. In Blender it is built up as a soft, rounded volume and only then given colour — the lumps and dents are left in on purpose.

From sketch to render. Time-lapse.

Baba Yaga in the viewport.

04 / In grey

Wild wolf.

Cry baby Alyonushka.

The same soft method, without the colour.

Technique: 3D sculpting in Blender, drawing
