A few years ago someone posted this on Reddit claiming to have made this character in blender. I thought that was really fucking dumb because it would take less than an hour and it was clearly ai. They argued with me when I said as much, so I did it myself in about 30 minutes to prove a point.
At the time I had a couple of years of faffing about blender and doing tutorials and little bits of art. Nothing serious.
To be fair, 30 minutes is a speed run and the model isn't really usable for anything except a still render. There are a lot of improvements I could make I reckon. If I wanted to put her in any other pose for example, it would take a few hours to tidy the scene and fix the mesh. If I wanted to animate her or make the model game ready it would probably take me a day or two of full time work.
It's very rewarding though, I highly recommend learning blender. And it's free, which you can't say about much these days.
