Garin, The Fallen Knight

Neither living, nor truly dead. A silent guardian of a courage once glorious, now lost forever.

This project was born from a personal challenge: designing a Dark Fantasy character from A to Z, from the first design explorations to the final render in Marmoset Toolbag.

I wanted to build a character whose story could be immediately understood through his appearance. A knight marked by war, time, and his transformation.

Every element was designed as part of his lived experience, silhouette, clothing, equipment, materials, wear, facial details and grooming.

The work didn't stop at the character itself. I explored several environments and lighting conditions to see how they could shift his presence, without changing his visual identity.
