1. Sketching the Silhouette with Curves
Curvy 3D thrives on fluid shape building, and that’s where I began. Instead of modeling with polygons, I used the intuitive sketch-based interface to trace the character’s silhouette. Starting with the torso and limbs, I quickly roughed out the stance—a wide, confident posture with both arms raised and locked in dual-wielding mode.

2. Sculpting the Armor and Details
Once I had the basic shape, I layered in the techwear: a tight, sleeveless top with defined musculature, utility belt, and a pair of futuristic pistols. The helmet was the pièce de résistance—sharp lines, an opaque visor, and glowing eyes that demanded attention. I used Curvy’s real-time sculpting tools to refine edges and punch in mechanical grooves and studs.

3. Accessorizing with Style
I didn’t want the character to feel generic, so I added a chain necklace to give him attitude and a bit of flair. The little details—ammo pouches, belt studs, reinforced gloves—each told a subtle story about the world he comes from. This is someone who’s always ready for war but never forgets to look sharp.

4. Lighting & Rendering for Maximum Impact
For the final touch, I experimented with dramatic lighting angles in Curvy to give the image that cinematic feel. The background gradient pushes the character forward visually, while the contrast highlights every crease and contour in his gear.
5. Final Polish
I exported the model and did a quick post-edit pass to enhance the colors and glow—especially those orange eyes. The result? A striking visual that looks ready to leap off the screen into a full-blown action sequence.
