This is my latest work called the Night Rider, which is part of the Rider series that I've done previously.
The title was attached so because the character is wearing a black suit.
The original design concept is a female soldier riding a vehicle, and there was a vehicle included in the original idea sketch, but I've decided not to include it in the final work in order to emphasize the female character.
A lot of editting has been done throughout the concept stage to 3D illustration.
I've especially tested the face skin heavily with Maya's Sub Surface Scattering Shader.
The Mudbox helped a lot in modifying the face quickly.
I used Maya 8.5, Mudbox, BodyPaint 3D and finished up with Photoshop CS2.
Thank you for your interest.
