Tasked with creating a physical, real life bust of our main character under siege from the hordes of Commodus. Marcelo was instantly drawn in to the idea of creating the horror video game art by hand. After consulting earlier sketches of the art, he was ready to digitally sculpt, and then 3D print the resin base for our hero.[/td] [/tr] [/table] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38661991/6e3bc030438eb5da379501c52d52682c85c3fefb.png[/img] [table noborder=1 equalcells=1] [tr] [td] “My work was sculpting the art for the cover. When I dug into the game, I realized HYPERVIOLENT had a powerful mix between new tech and old-school look and feel. I wanted to keep the same feeling for the sculpture, so I mixed two different techniques to sculpt it. One was more classic (clay sculpting) and the other was more modern (3d resin printing) The whole process took me almost 2 months!” - Marcelo B.[/td] [td][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38661991/f13db4217a0d051e71436dfd8b8baa1638d28bc3.png[/img][/td] [/tr] [tr] [td][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38661991/9a29736d77514d040c2acfc20d1580118b62c354.png[/img][/td] [td][img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38661991/ee60659d31db730868e0e0ead4c7fd498a10eaa3.png[/img][/td] [/tr] [/table] When the 3D printed base was done, it was time to get to work, sculpting the scene with more traditional clay methods.
