Qiyan, the Ember Sage

This is my original character design: Qiyan, The Ember Sage, a stylized, fire-wielding warrior inspired by mythological roots like Sun Wukong and shaped for modern game aesthetics. I designed the character to balance stoic power and elemental flair, with visual influences from titles like League of Legends, Overwatch, and Black Myth: Wukong.

The final model, including the Jingu Bang-inspired staff, comes in at around 90k triangles and is fully game-ready.

The project is split across:

4 Texture Sets for body, clothing, armor, and staff

1 Additional Set for the eyes

Textured in Substance 3D Painter using a PBR workflow with stylized detailing

Rendered in Unreal Engine 5

All design, modeling, and texturing were done by me.
