Arnold in Arnold: Anatomical Study

This digital sculpture began as a personal project—originally intended as a 3D print gift for my father, a lifelong fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, as the work progressed, it naturally evolved into a more in-depth anatomical study. I took the opportunity to focus closely on muscle structure, definition, and proportion, using Schwarzenegger’s legendary physique as both reference and inspiration.

Sculpted entirely in ZBrush, with special attention paid to muscle tension, posture, and silhouette. The final model was rendered in Maya using the Arnold renderer—partly as a playful nod to the coincidence between the engine name's origin and the subject.
