The Healer Haji
This is a Healer character.
He is a mostly mechanical entity who uses technology and ritual magic for healing endevours.
It is a fusion of South East Asia cultural references and some Latin American popular culture.
I like the colorful vibe of this one !

The callouts for the pieces that build the character.
Rendered variations of the character. I really liked 2nd and 3rd too, they could be good skins.
Some references i gathered and some of the initial sketches.
Backpack sketches
Backpack renders. Since the character is mostly seen in 3rd person, the backpack needs to be interesting and engaging.
Callouts for the leg and arm.
Staff exploration.
Tried to mix cultural elements of mongolian pieces and some tech functions.
The first sketch in zbrush
Some simple texturing in blender for overpainting.
