FFXIV Carbuncle 3D Model (Patreon)

Spent a little bit of time modeling a carbuncle.

I did heavily reference the in-game model's shape, but for once, modeled not by doing my usual method of point modeling, but by starting with a primitive (cube) and created it with extrusion modeling.

I didn't plan to have it all as one mesh for the head and figured I'd point model the face like I usually do and just use my brother's Zbrush core to dynamesh and blend it all together but. I ended up just managing to continue extruding to make a face.

The ears and two side tails are just intersecting objects though!

But I wanted to model something to 3D print on my brother's new 3D printer. And rigged the model to try a variety of poses.Though the images with a 4 view are all just posed manually by moving points before I rigged it.

I figure I can maybe make a little carbuncle tablet pen holder or hanging keychain because I just want to make something exist form 3D model to PHYSICAL ITEM.

I would be happy to share some .obj or other files if anyone else is interested in trying to print a carbuncle of their own once I get things setup and stuff LOL.
