A couple of weeks ago I did a livestream event where I modeled the Hollow Knight character. This video is a sped up version of that livestream, with some additional content at the end.

The first 24 minutes is the livestream event, but sped up.

The last 15 minutes is new content where I rework the pose, do some additional sculpting, recreate the cloak, redo the lighting and composite in Photoshop.
