Concept to rig. The characters your game or film can't shut up about.
Personal work, built entirely in house — sculpted in ZBrush, textured across 20 material sets, rig on the bench right now. This is the real asset, not a video. Drag him. Spin him. Put him on your desk in AR.
Modelling, sculpting, retopo, UVs, lookdev and rigging — all characters. Concept direction, animation, environments and engineering were the rest of the team's.
The whole pipeline on a character that is entirely ours, so nothing has to be held back.
A realistic head is the least forgiving thing you can build — everyone in the room has spent their whole life reading faces, so anything wrong reads instantly even to someone who cannot say why. This one is ours end to end: sculpt, retopo, UVs, lookdev, and the rig currently on the bench.
Game work is the opposite discipline: a fixed triangle count, textures that have to run in engine, and a character that still has to read from every angle.
Built to a budget and documented like it. The sheet is the part most artists never make: every material set with its own texture resolution and triangle count, and the three channels doing the work underneath.

STUDIO WHAT!! designs and builds 3D characters for games, film and cinematics. Our character artist built and rigged every character in GRIME II, developed by Clover Bite and published by Kwalee, which shipped in March 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. We take a character from silhouette sketches through sculpting, retopology, UVs, texturing and rigging, and hand you a clean, engine ready asset that drops straight into Unreal, Unity or your renderer of choice.
Every character is built to move. Anatomy first, then clean edge flow, then a rig with controls animators enjoy using. We work in ZBrush, Maya, Blender and Substance, the same pipeline running inside real productions.
Need the character in the real world too? Our fabrication workshop prints display pieces of the same model, and the Education Lab teaches the exact pipeline we use. Tell us who you are bringing to life on the contact page.
