This character is a halfbreed between a Draenei and an Ogre, combining traits such as the Draenei's face tentacles, glowing eyes, forehead, pointy ears, heroic stature, and the Ogre's horn, big ears, teeth/lips, and overall beefiness. Armor-wise, I've incorporated the Draenei's crystals, Ogre-like horns (specifically Clefthoof horns for the shoulder pads, and Elekk tusks on the weapon), and some armor motifs and colors from Ogre Magi.
Rendered in Marmoset Toolbag. Turnaround/facial animations rendered in UE4. I started with a high poly sculpt in ZBrush. The low poly was modeled, unwrapped and rigged in 3ds max. Texture painting was done with 3D-Coat in combination with Photoshop.
