Meet Dragon Rider, a stylized 3D character by Denis Kildyushev, based on the original concept by Aleksandr Kayda. 🐉

Packed with personality, bold shapes, and vibrant colors, Denis brought this playful duo from concept to 3D using ZBrush for sculpting and color work, with the final scene assembled and rendered in Blender.

A fantastic showcase of stylized character work, expressive forms, and a whole lot of character!

Introducing Ash Vane - Pirate Captain, a character showcase by Teodor Mihajlov. 🏴☠️

Built around the unmistakable silhouette of a seasoned pirate captain, Ash Vane is packed with storytelling details weathered fabrics, ornate belts and buckles, jewelry, weapons, tattoos, and countless accessories that give the character a lived-in, adventurous feel.

From the layered costume and material work to the smaller details scattered throughout her equipment, every element helps sell the idea of a captain shaped by years at sea.

A great example of how strong character design, detailed prop work, and presentation can come together to tell a story before a character ever says a word.

Meet The Executioner ⚖️

A striking dark fantasy character by Alexandra Boshevska, combining gothic elegance, body horror, and an imposing silhouette into a design that feels both ceremonial and terrifying.

Drawing inspiration from FromSoftware’s visual language, Blasphemous, and the wider dark fantasy and horror genre, Alexandra explored a character in which every element reinforces his role from the towering, scale-like headpiece and organic armor to the suspended scales and flowing blood.

The result is a haunting character packed with intricate forms, unsettling details, and a strong sense of narrative.

Step behind the scenes of Old Comrades – Backroom. 🔦

A showcase of environment work by Martin Moreno, Environment Art Mentor at M3DS Academy, created for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

These stills feature the backroom from the Old Comrades campaign mission, where players encounter the Butcher. Martin contributed to bringing this gritty, grounded environment to life through modeling, world building, texturing, and final polish.

From the worn concrete and industrial details to the carefully placed props and atmospheric lighting, the environment is built to feel functional, believable, and lived-in while supporting the tension of the campaign sequence.

Step into the Tangled Shore. 🌌

A showcase of environment work by Martin Moreno, Environment Art Mentor at M3DS Academy, created for Destiny 2.

This collection takes us through several locations across the Tangled Shore, including Soriks Cut, The Boil, Diaviks Mine, Shipyard AWO-43, and The Empty Tank each bringing together large-scale sci-fi structures, industrial details, atmospheric lighting, and the rugged environments that define this corner of the Destiny universe.

From sprawling exterior spaces to underground passages and interiors, the project is a great look at the environment art and world-building behind a AAA production.

Meet our Student of the Month - Dusan Damnjanovic! 🔥

We’re excited to showcase Crimson Shadow, a full game-ready character created by Dusan during his mentorship with Marko Lazov at M3DS Academy.

From the detailed facial work and layered materials to the armor, clothing, and accessories, the project was an opportunity for Dusan to strengthen his skills across the complete character production pipeline.

The character was sculpted in ZBrush, with retopology and UVs completed using Blender and RizomUV, texturing in Substance 3D Painter, and baking and final presentation in Marmoset Toolbag 5.

A great example of what consistent work, mentorship, and attention to detail can produce. Congratulations to Dusan on the progress and on earning Student of the Month! 👏

Exploring the art of hand-painted stylization. 🎨✨

For her 2026 Rookies Entry, Aleksandra Jankova presents Chloris, a stylized character project focused on translating the original concept into a striking 3D character while exploring a predominantly hand-painted texturing workflow.

The result combines strong silhouettes, vibrant colors, intricate costume elements, and a distinctive hand-painted finish, while staying true to the original character reference.

From sculpting and topology to texturing and rigging, Chloris is a great showcase of the full stylized character workflow.

Stylized character art meets futuristic hard-surface design. ⚡🤖

For his 2026 Rookies Entry, Antonio Nikolovski presents Mia Colleen Clariant, a character project combining stylized forms with more realistic materials, details, and presentation.

With much of the design built around hard-surface elements, the character was modeled primarily in Maya, while the bodysuit, head, and hair were sculpted in ZBrush. Antonio aimed to find a balance between stylized and realistic character art, taking a different direction from his typically fully stylized work.

The project also explores a more advanced material workflow, using UDIMs for the main assets, a heavily modified MetaHuman base for the face and micro details, and a completely shader-driven approach for the hair.

From the character herself to the accompanying robotic elements, the final result brings together character sculpting, hard-surface modeling, texturing, and technical material work into one cohesive design.

Be sure to check out Antonio's 2026 Rookies Entry and don't forget to leave a High Five! 👏
