Pudge · Dota 2 commissioned figure

The brief.

This completed Pudge commission is a resin figure based on the Dota 2 character. The complete six-photo gallery lets you look beyond the main showcase angle and compare the finished character around the piece.

Selected work

Finish & process.

This 5-inch resin figure was printed by 3Ready Prototyping Lab and hand-painted with Luminary Colors. The finish uses a deliberately gory treatment: meat-like colors, staples and bloodied weapons are central to the character interpretation. For a game character with several appearances, the chosen version and equipment are part of the brief that guides the finished treatment.
