Though the character is kind of scary, I admire how genuinely eerie the 3D baby looks because it aligns well with the grim messages it speaks (in some videos, WarNymph talks of the end of the world). I know that Kowalski did the 3D sculpting partly on his &ldquo;home desktop&rdquo; and with ZBrush (digital sculpting application), but I can&rsquo;t find much else on the algorithms or mechanisms that generated the work. Kowalski&rsquo;s artistic focus lies in making incredibly detailed 3D characters, which is clearly exemplified by the baby&rsquo;s intricate wings and leg tattoo, which accurately matches Grimes&rsquo; tattoo.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Title: WarNymph Year of Creation: 2020 Artists: Dylan Kowalski I admire how the project allows Grimes to have a digital version of herself because I feel like the virtual world is the exact place where people can be who they &ldquo;truly are&rdquo; without the confinements of real world expectations or circumstances.
