Were this a 3D render of Mass Effect 2’s Thane, it would be impressive. Thing is, it’s not. This is a tangible, old-fashioned sculpt. Get a load of the detail!
Seriously, had you not been informed this was crafted by hand you’d simply assume it was a game asset, such is the colour and intricacy on show. From his neck scales to his gills, he’s looking sharp.
The piece stands just over 6 inches tall, and you can see more shots by scrolling through the gallery above.
It’s the work of Brazilian character artist Rafael Grassetti, who makes a living doing everything from 3D art to texturing to traditional sculpture like you see here for movie studios, game developers and toy companies.
