'The Royal Scots Bagpiper' by Lothar Zhou

Lothar's latest project is The Royal Scots Bagpiper, inspired by an oil painting depicting a brave Scottish soldier playing his bagpipe on a WWI battlefield. The painting was originally in black and white. Base mesh made in Maya, sculpting in ZBrush, and completing the project using Substance Painter. The entire process took about three and a half weeks, with a few hours of work each day. The project is intended for presentation purposes, with the level of detail designed for a third-person view.
