THE CHALLENGES
To sharpen my sculpting skills and push creativity, I designed a randomized challenge system using D&D dice. Each roll determines four core elements of the sculpt: subject, genre, type, and style.
By removing choice, I force myself to adapt, explore unfamiliar territory, and grow as a digital artist.

No 1 - FOREST DEMON
🎲 Creature, Fantasy, Monster, Realistic
Taking the dice roll into account, I decided to go for a malevolent forest demon. An ancient, stag and hound-like beast with twisted horns, moss-covered muscle, and ember-red eyes. Born from the dark heart of the woods, it's a predator shaped by both nature and nightmare. The design focuses on natural textures, a muscular build, and a haunting, intelligent presence.

NOTE: This is still a WIP.
Here’s a look at the rest of the body.
The muscular structure is already in place, but the lower body and limbs still need detailed sculpting to match the overall texture. Final touches will include forest overgrowth; dead plants and tangled weeds draping from the body to emphasize its connection to the wild, decaying environment.
