Dragon Warrior | Ming Dynasty Gunner began as Anastasia Kukosh's advanced term project at Think Tank Training Centre: a real-time game character grounded in Ming dynasty reference, with original concept-art context credited to Ningbo Jiang. The collector launch is based on Anastasia's character and physical figurine proof, not on an endorsement by the concept artist.
The character is not generic fantasy merchandise. It carries craft that artists recognize immediately: sculpting, textile and metal material work, high-resolution texture maps, ZBrush posing, and Marmoset presentation.
The physical figurine adds a rare second act. A real-time character built for screen presence became an object with scale, sculptural detail, silhouette, packaging, and collector presence.
The first release celebrates the full chain: concept reference, real-time character production, full-colour print proof, and collector packaging. The point is ownership of a physical piece of the artwork, not generic merchandise.
The renders establish the character's surface language; the physical proof shows that those decisions can survive as a desk-size display figure.
