Yennefer in Fortnite

This project features a crossover of Yennefer of Vengerberg from Netflix's "Witcher" series and "The Witcher: Wild Hunt" by CD Projekt Red, adopting the style of Epic Games' "Fortnite." This fan-made model, inspired by the actress from the Witcher Netflix series and the main outfit from Witcher 3, was created using ZBrush for modeling, Adobe Substance Painter for texturing and rendering, Maya for posing, and Photoshop for compositing. The model's appeal was evident when my younger siblings expressed their desire to play this character in Fortnite. Update: Yennefer is now in Fortnite as of June 2023.

* This project was not Affiliated with Epic Games, CD Projekt Red, or Netflix.
Fortnite Female Base Mesh
First, I created a core female character base model in ZBrush for future Fortnite-inspired designs. This will allow me to work faster on other similar characters in the future.

I focused primarily on the face and proportions knowing many aspects would not be necessary (ie: toes) since most of the characters I will be creating will be fully clothed.

I adapted my more realistic looking female base mesh to save time by changing the features to better match the Fortnite style.
Final Thoughts
This project served as an invaluable learning opportunity, presenting challenges that I successfully tackled. I gained proficiency in UV mapping multiple distinct meshes and accomplished the creation of a comprehensive character model in 10 days, alongside my full-time commitments. 

In retrospect, dedicating more time to refining individual elements would have been beneficial, yet the overall experience proved to be a rewarding test of my skills. Despite the time constraints, I remain pleased with the final outcome.

MiniGameJam 2022
2022
Participated in a 72 hour game jam over the Halloween Weekend where we created a Unity game about Vampires. The premise of the game was COD: Zombies meets Vampires in a Japanese forest. Due to the limitation being added that "Blood is lethal" has to be a mechanic, we decided that the main character is a Dhampir (child of a vampire and human) that has the supernatural abilities of a Vampire, but is a day-walker. Dhampir blood, according to legend, is lethal to Vampires which is why part of the game mechanic was Blood Bombs and a Blood Sword.
