Bringing this stealthy, battle-ready rogue to life in Curvy 3D was an exciting challenge! With long, fiery red hair, intricate leather armor, and a stance that screams “I work alone”, this character embodies agility, mystery, and undeniable charisma.
Why a Rogue?
Because rogues are the ultimate blend of cunning, speed, and style. Whether sneaking through moonlit alleyways, outmaneuvering enemies, or stealing priceless artifacts, they always look effortlessly cool while doing it.

The Sculpting Process—From Base Shape to Legendary Thief
1. Sketching the Core Structure
- Using Curvy’s sketch-based modeling, I quickly outlined the rogue’s stance, ensuring the proportions felt balanced and agile.
- The soft move tools helped refine the flow of the hair and armor, making sure the silhouette was dynamic and stealthy.
2. Sculpting the Details
- Long Red Hair: Using voxel merge, I sculpted flowing, layered strands, ensuring the rogue looked like they just stepped out of an epic battle—or a dramatic tavern entrance.
- Intricate Leather Armor: The warp brushes helped refine the buckles, straps, and reinforced plating, making them feel functional yet stylish.
- Hidden Daggers & Pouches: A mix of inflate and deflate brushes added depth to the belt accessories, ensuring the rogue was prepared for any situation.
3. Painting & Texturing for Maximum Impact
- Dark, muted tones gave the rogue a stealthy, enigmatic presence, making them feel like a shadow in the night.
- Lightmaps & Specular Highlights: These enhanced the armor textures, ensuring the figure looked ready to blend into any environment.
- Subtle shading: Added depth to the background, ensuring the rogue looked like they were emerging from the mist of a hidden alleyway.
Final Touches & Rendering
Once the sculpt was complete, I posed the rogue in a ready-for-action stance, ensuring they looked prepared for their next mission. The dramatic lighting and atmospheric effects helped enhance the mystical atmosphere, making the scene feel like a moment frozen in time.
Conclusion—Why This Was So Much Fun
Sculpting this rogue in Curvy 3D was an absolute thrill! The combination of sketch-based modeling, adaptive sculpting, and detailed texturing made the process fast, fun, and visually stunning.
