This quick sculpt was created to celebrate 2020's Halloween, I've decided to re-imagine Manny Calavera from the classic Grim Fandango stylizing him into something more realistic. The character was rendered in real-time using blender's EEVEE, It didn't take too much time and I had a lot of fun doing it!




Using references from Manny's illustrations, I've decided to go with this one, that gives a more "in control James Bond" vibes to Manny.




I went with a more realistic skull with exaggerated proportions for his head with the details from the original concept. Since this was a quick sculpt, I maintained pretty much all the shapes that I could, into one mesh.




On the hand, It was better to maintain a more cartoonish look with planes to keep him more closely to the original concept and not just a regular skeleton.




Hope you like it! Thank you!
