Mirchi – Character Key Art | Blender 3D
Mirchi is a stylized 3D character concept built around the idea of a street-smart enforcer with roots in Indian culture. The name "Mirchi" (meaning chilli pepper) informed her entire visual language, fiery reds, bold golds, and an attitude to match.
This project covers the full asset pipeline: character modelling, cloth simulation, hard-surface props, accessory design, UV unwrapping, and texture painting, all done in Blender.
The character comes with her own prop set: a hand scythe weapon, a traditional potli bag, gold jhumka earrings, and her signature spiked sunglasses. Each prop was designed to reinforce her personality while drawing from traditional Indian craft aesthetics.
Software: Blender 5.0
Renderer: EEVEE
Texturing: Blender Texture Paint
Final key art render for Mirchi, a stylized street enforcer character. Rendered in Blender's EEVEE with custom post-processing. Mood lighting and smoke FX were composited to establish her personality as "The Spicy Enforcer."
Face detail shot highlighting hand-painted skin textures, stylized eye shading, and brow work. The goal was a toon-adjacent look with enough realism to feel grounded.
Full character in the environment shows costume readability at distance. Outfit designed around an Indian street aesthetic: crop top, baggy cargo pants, gold accents.
3-view character turnaround. Modeled and rigged in Blender. Proportions are stylized with a slight chibi influence while maintaining a teenage street-fighter silhouette.
