This incredibly lifelike 3D character design blends Netflix inspiration with real history

A complex 3D model of a priestess.

Melvin Okoronkwo is a 3D character artist specialising in realistic humans and detailed hair. He enjoys bringing characters to life from concept illustrations using the best 3D modelling software. Below, he explains the inspiration and process behind the strikingly realistic 3D model, Lady Kököchin.

“The main inspiration for this piece was the TV show Marco Polo on Netflix, as I quickly fell in love with the Mongolian nomadic culture. I find the traditional Mongolian clothing interesting, especially the ceremonial ones. My Lady Kököchin piece pays homage to the real-life princess of the Bayaut tribe of Mongolia.
