Lich King - First Semester Character Design

For my first semester at the National Academy of Arts in Sofia, we were tasked with designing characters for the theme 'Fantasy'. I had chosen 'undead' for character and decided I would do a Lich character! This was my first time tackling designing with 3D in mind and sculpting/ retopologising. Though I did not have enough time to check whether the character would bake properly I am proud of this first attempt at fully 3D modelling a character!
