Izanami (イザナミ) is a Shinto goddess of creation and death. This concept displays her within the darkness of Yomi, the underworld, where a pale rot slowly consumes her for having eaten the fruit of the dead. Hers is now a throne of souls.

​

This project stems from a larger endeavor, Silhouette of the Sun, which eats up most of my personal schedule. Thus, while juggling these other projects which are part of a greater whole, it became impossible to meet the deadline for Izanami without outsourcing certain aspects of this character. Cards for the hair bun were acquired from Turbosquid, and the original kimono mesh was downloaded from ArtStation, though I made retopo meshes as well as my own adjustments in zBrush. All texture sets (minus the hair shader) were exported from Substance Painter and rendered in UE5.

​

Whenever time allows, I intend to return to this character model and fill in these gaps. Until then, I ought be thankful that she currently resides in the Underworld where no one can find her :)
