Course Description

Hello guys, and you are probably wondering who is this guy?

This is Lobo, and he is the character we will do entirely in Blender in this course!

He is also a bit crazy, so don't think of not taking this course, coz he might get angry!


In this course you will get over 30 hours of realtime sculpting and modelling in Blender, with the purpose of having a ready model for rendering or 3D printing.


Now again probably you are wondering who is your instructor?

His name is Niko, and he is a 3D character artist and educator with over 15 years in the game industry. He has over 20 000 students in his online courses of 3D character creation and human anatomy.


The amazing concept for this character is done by the incredible artist Dario Jelušić


In the course we will start a bit differently with gathering our references, needed for the character creation, and analyzing our concept. We will then start modelling the head, the teeth and tongue. Then we will model the body, arms and legs, where i will speak about the anatomy and shapes of those body parts. After, we will make the basic shape of the dog and continue with the clothes. We will do Lobo's belt, jacket, potnik and pants. A hardsurface modelling will be next when we make the granade and the weapon. Then we will jump to do some knee armor, shoelases, and all kinds of elements this character has on himself, and there will be some modelling and sculpting, mark my word :).


I will then, with great pleasure, make one of the skulls on his belt and then make the batman mask, the wonderwoman tiara and a flash helmet. I just love sculpting skulls!


Then we will make some chains, which will be also an interesting part of our course. Dog chain, neck chain, and the arm chain. While making all the features of this character i will always talk and show you how to model it to be 3D printer friendly. With bigger and thicker elements and overall attention to the detail.


After we work few more hours, detailing and finishing Lobo, we will rig the arms and hands, and make the pose from the concept. Then we will do some more cleaning and adjusting untill we are ready to call it done. And for last, we will do a interesting render with the help of Photoshop and a turntable, with the help of Blender himself :).


This course is absolutely made for intermediate Blender users, and although i will talk you trough almost every step i do in it, for the beginners i would recommend taking my Absolute beginners 3D character in Blender course first, and then go back to this one :).


So if you kinda like this crazy and wild looking character, and you want to see the whole process, and even make it yourself i would say you might want to check out the course :).

Instructor Details

I have interest in arts since i was a very little kid. I was drawing all the time at school and at home. I was barely going out to play with the other kids, and later go to night clubs. Drawing and books were my passions. Later i became a Graphic Designer and then i was 3D character artist at Gameloft for 15 years. I have more than 10 years of experience with Zbrush, but now i use the amazing free software Blender and make courses and characters with its help.

Great course, highly recommend it for every artist. I learned allot about creating 3d characters (and other 3d things) in blender, but this knowledge can also be applied in zbrush (and probably in any other 3d software).

This material is amazing and super worth. I never had such big improvements as I have everytime I take Niko's classes. Its objective, easy to understand and rich in content. Its my 3rd training with this guy and I'm already thinking what course I will do next. Niko is the best!

That course is very informative. Always wanted to find a tutorial from experienced person that can speak the same language with student though screen.

By Raul Amoros on 2/15/2023

Si, es muy bueno explicando y tiene un flujo de trabajo que me gusto mucho como se organiza.Es un curso orientado para personas que sepan manejar blender por lo menos un nivel medio , por que puede que en algún caso se pierdan pero en general es un curso que si que recomiendo total mente.

By Richard Ortega on 12/15/2022

I am very grateful for the candid manner in which the instructor teaches. He is honest with his approach and speaks about his craft like someone who has many years of experience. A teacher should be able to speak about many different things, not just the subject they are teaching. And you get a bit of everything here. I am still making my way through the lectures, but so far I have learned quite a bit. It was worth the payment of the course. Full disclosure, I dropped the course and came back to it after several weeks. Mostly because of other responsibilities. But the things I have learned have stuck with me.

Very well explained, clear classes and Nikolay has a unique charisma, fun and a great instructor, I recommend the course and his youtube channel to everyone.

Good as always! :) great tutorials :)

By Ken Thomas on 10/22/2022

Great sculpting course for intermediate blender users. The Instructor explains the process clearly and also gives anatomy tips and advice. Very entertaining too.

By Kraal Wiggins on 10/8/2022

Very good course. The focus is on creating. A lot of tutorials focus on being a technical master. This on here focuses on creating a project. Technical skills are taught, but not to sacrifice the goal of having fun and getting comfortable in creation
