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 create a character whose story could be immediately understood through his appearance: a knight marked by war, time, and his transformation.
Every design choice was made to reinforce that idea.
I also explored different environments and lighting conditions to develop his LookDev, until I found the one that best told his story.

Based in France, I work as a freelance Senior 3D Character Artist and Digital Sculptor, on video game, cinematic and collectible projects.
I am currently open to new collaborations, whether joining a production, developing a character, or contributing to specific Character Art and Digital Sculpting needs.
If my profile could be a fit for a project or a team, feel free to reach out.
And if you enjoyed the project, a comment, a share, or simply showing it to someone in your network can really help Garin find his next battlefield.
