Over the past couple of months, I've been trying to learn how sculpt and model characters in 3d. With each project, I've been trying to learn a bit about at least one new thing that I can use to help me create a character. This time I wanted to learn how to create armor and attach it, so I chose to sculpt samus from Metroid.

Leave a comment on what character you'd like to see me try and model in 3d! Also, I'm looking into making my models 3d print ready. Once I look into it, I'll throw them up on gumroad for you to download for free.
