Were this a 3D render of Mass Effect 2ās Thane, it would be impressive. Thing is, itās not. This is a tangible, old-fashioned sculpture. Get a load of the detail!
Seriously, had you not been informed this was crafted by hand youād simply assume it was a game asset, such is the colour and intricacy on show. From his neck scales to his gills, heās looking sharp
The piece stands just over 6 inches tall, and you can see more shots by scrolling through the gallery above.
Itās the work of Brazilian character artist Rafael Grassetti, who makes a living doing everything from 3D art to texturing to traditional sculpture like you see here for movie studios, game developers and toy companies.
Oh, and heās also currently an artist working on Mass Effect 3
