Layna Lazar Sketchbook

Allo!

My name is Layna and I am a 3D character sculptor for collectibles, miniatures, and games. I currently sculpt full time for IHazToys, a toystore made by my partner Jon Troy Nickel and myself! We both sculpt figures that are from original IPs, with other artists we collaborate with, and hopefully in the future- IP based figures from anime and video games we love!

We are currently based in Wellington, New Zealand :smiley: Good ol’ land of the Hobbits!

I’ve never really had a place to just completely art dump everything I’m doing from WIPs, quicksketches, photos of our 3D prints, or just updates in general. So I’d love to be more apart of the community since Zbrush is my main go-to for what we do!
I’m still pretty new to the world of 3D so I’m always open for critique and anything that can help me along the way :slight_smile: I’ve got a lot of things I want to get better at and learn how to do, so this will be the place to keep track of it all <3

*Just to have a point of reference, I’ll start the thread from SUPER old works to current. super nervous

In 2013 there was a 3D fanart competition, so I ended up doing my best to have a go at it! I sculpted Nonon from Kill La Kill :slight_smile:

Succubus Publishing made a really great board game called Middara, and I got a great opportunity to work on some miniatures for their game!

Lovely progression of improving over the years, Layna. Interested to look forward what you come up with next. And ALSO, I’m really digging the character art podcast you, Jon and Gavin + guests have done recently. So much good talk and info about being a character artist in the industry. :wink:
