Character design Julien Lafragette created a highly detailed character portrait: an African female warrior rendered with impeccable realism and depth.
The design is captivating immediately, every detail—from her expression to her adornments—tells a story.
The piece is based on a concept by Character Concept Artist Areum Jeong.

Lafragette created a merger of a flat 2D character to a real 3D character, with lifelike textures, and cultural reference.
Bringing this amazing character to life was no small feat, Lafragette utilised a stream of industry-standard tools, including ZBrush, Substance 3D Painter, Maya, Marmoset Toolbag, DaVinci Resolve, Unreal Engine, Marvelous Designer, and Photoshop.
This work not only highlights Lafragette’s skill as an accomplished artist but also emphasises the growing power of 3D art.
