ART WAR 5 | 3D Submissions | Art World War | Gumiho (Nine Tailed Fox) | knecksewn

For this year's Art War submission, I'll be creating a Korean 9-tailed fox known as a Gumiho, a shape shifting fox known to trick human beings by turning into loved ones or seducing them, taking and eating human liver.

Here are a few screenshots of my reference board (so far), clothing made in MD, and the (finished?) sculpt

Here's another update; made the low poly.

reworked the tails a bit

Almost finished with the texturing, in the meantime here are some normal bake renders in marmoset

Here is my final submission:

and one with darker lighting:

In some stories depicting the Gumiho, she is caught using a stone of sorts to steal the life away from those that she exchanges it with. In one story, a child played a game with a Gumiho, passing the stone back and forth with her, slowly losing its life.
I have more shots and a 3D viewer for her on my artstation if anyone would like to check it out (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/nYl8Wr).
Hope you guys like it!
