Fortnite artist brings Ariana Grande skin concept to life

Fortnite has made collaboration with well-known musicians and artists like Marshmello and Travis Scott in the past which has led to mind-bending in-game concert, many of which broke the record of concurrent viewers on the internet.

Apart from the musical concerts, these artists also get their in-game cosmetic skins that could be purchased by players and fans to keep as a souvenir after the event comes to an end. The arrangement has allowed both Fortnite and the individual artist to make millions in return, which is another reason why players can expect more collaborations in the future.

Thank you to everyone who attended and created content around the Travis Scott event! Over 27.7 million unique players in-game participated live 45.8 million times across the five events to create a truly Astronomical experience. 🤯🔥 pic.twitter.com/LSH0pLmGOS

Shortly after the success these in-game events garnered, Fortnite introduced their 'Party Royale' mode which sets up the stage for future collaborations with upcoming musical artists as well.

A few months back, Ariana Grande was rumoured to be the upcoming star set to perform on the virutal stage of Fortnite. However, there hasn't been any official confirmation from Epic Games yet.

D3NNI made two styles for the cosmetic: Light and Dark, along with two backblings as well. The artist also incorporated a feature where Ariana's ponytail grows longer after every elimination that the player achieves in the game. D3NNI revealed that the original face of the initial cosmetic was based on Jule 'The Engineer'.

Had tons of fun sculpting the face model to resemble Ariana and makin custom backblings / outfits! I’m so happy to finally be back to making skin concepts again & have many plans for new concepts in the near future 🤫(fun fact the original face model was Jules before sculpting)
