It’s Time To Go – “The Sad Grim”

Personal project. I felt inspired to try a bust sculpt of the grim reaper but wanted to break a little bit from tradition and attempt to bring some character to him. I imagined him a little bit more empathetic and sad in a way. Those thousands of years escorting the recently deceased to their new place. A character of bone, stone, and burnt wooden ash.
I gave myself a limit of two days to work on this. Much more could be done but there’s the expression in the creative arts, “Art is never finished, it is abandoned or taken away from us.”
Sculpted from scratch in ZBrush. Retopo’d and UV’d in ZBrush as well. Textured and rendered in Marmoset Toolbag 4.
