Vajracharya Priest’s Crown

"A crown of ancient power, adorned with turquoise and copper, crafted for the highest rank of priests to channel the divine energy of Manjushri. Wearing it offers a sense of calm and clarity."

This asset was completed as apart of my Freelance work for Infinity 27 and their game Samsara! The Early Access releases on Epic games on 12/12/24.
It is head gear designed for the player character to find within the world. Its design is inspired by existing Vajracharya priest Crowns within Tibetan Buddhism, however I created the design myself from silhouette sketches and heavy references.
-----------------------------------------------
For this I wanted to continue learning my skills of hard surface within ZBrush. The sculpt for this asset included alot of custom brush making to simplify and speed up the sculpt process for such a complicated crown without sacrificing any detail quality. This is most prominent on the front flare of the crown.
