Of course, the sensible thing would be to use an existing game engine, but after a certain point, there is some curiosity if learning and fighting yet another game engine is really quicker that just writing something from scratch.
This model is Kumiko from the anime ‘Hibike! Euphonium’.
I made this model for the purpose of experimenting with a ‘shading’ technique that I wanted to try. The main aim of this project was to have a convincing 3D anime model with a clean 2D effect that is viewable realtime.
I have a writeup on how I created the model, here.

I've been the main artist on Phantom Halls (a PC game in early access) and have been responsible for modelling and texturing basically all assets in the game, even doing a lot of the concept work where needed.
Some fun with a 3d model i made this morning..
