i'm a bit of a beginner but i want to make this statue for a csgo (cs2 soon) map that i'm working on. i already know the basics of how to make simple props but i really don't know where to start when making something more complicated like this. any advice?

You have to download zbrush and become an anatomy expert

You need to solve the puzzle of topology

Its only a statue he just need to scuplt and zremesh it
topology is not needed for static objects

Get a paper and pencil and spend a few years learning how to draw, then get a tablet and zbrush and spend a few years learning how to sculpt.
Or find a similar statue online for free or cheap, or pay someone $100 to sculpt it for you.
other option is scan the actual statue and clean it up.

Your don't understand. The Puzzle of topology is a state of mind. Yes, you can make 3D objects and not care about the Puzzle of topology, but you'll never be truly happy.

i've considered it but i don't really have time and money to go over there at the moment as much as i would like it.
i would like to learn how to model it myself but i really don't know where i would even start. do i make a low poly version then start sculpting? feels a bit overwhelming

For a real-time application (app) like CSGO I would recommend poly-modelling a simplified version of this sculpture to your desired resolution (fidelity) and using a texture to add in finer details. I recommend using a normal map, roughness map if the engine supports them so you can create a great illusion of 3D detail. Another thing to note is to be careful of how many polygons the engine can handle so that it doesn't lag the players.
