Mega Lucario

This was a 3D model created for the PokeEarth collab project! This took me about 2 months to complete while doing college classes. I finished this around the end of March, then the collab was released Mid August. Still plenty of things to revisit and refine, but overall, beyond happy with how this turned out!
I 3D modelled Lucario initially in Zbrush, and made them a lower poly count with Z-remesher. I didnt worry about doing a low-poly by hand, due to the fact, I wasn't going to put in Lucario in any super crazy poses, and he wasn't for animations.
I then took them into Substance painter and aimed for a handpainted texture. Heavily relying on references from Arcane to nail down what I would like the finished result to look like. I also baked Lucario in Substance aswell.
I then took Lucario into blender, where I rigged and posed lucario for the final beauty shot and transparent shot for the collab, and also where I got the final renders.
It was beyond a doubt, a joy once again to bring skills I have acquired in my college degree into a community of a collaboration. I look forward to using my skills once again in future PokeEarth(and other) collaborations!
