Diablo lord of terror

My latest personal project is a collaboration with my good friend Sanjoo Ayathan Katteri — be sure to check out his ArtStation for the original model! https://www.artstation.com/artwork/YBNGnK

Diablo has been one of my favourite characters since I was a kid, so when Sanjoo mentioned he wanted to model and sculpt him, I jumped at the chance to handle the texturing and lookdev. I think Sanjoo did a fantastic job with the sculpt — he stayed really true to the character while bringing something fresh to it.

For the textures, I worked across both Mari and Substance Painter. The fine skin displacement was built in Mari and passed back to Sanjoo for further refinement. I also added an ash layer to help ground the character and make him feel truly at home in the hellish environment.
