Blair is a Korean American, and one of my primary goals was to represent her Asian facial features in an authentic way without relying on stereotypes. I carefully refined her cheekbones and subtly upturned eyes in ZBrush to achieve a balanced and natural appearance.
To emphasize another key aspect of her design—her makeup—I adjusted the roughness values of her eyelids and lips to create a subtle shimmer. When lipstick is applied in real life, light catches only the raised areas of the lip texture rather than reflecting evenly across the entire surface. Keeping this in mind, I designed the shader so the highlights appear as small, scattered glints instead of a uniform shine.
I especially enjoyed sculpting details such as the palm height map and her clay-inspired hairstyle, as they allowed me to explore intricate surface forms. For her faded denim jeans, I carefully observed real garments and hand-painted the worn areas to create a convincing sense of realism.
