INFO
Personal project focused on character design and animation. Inspiration came from many sources including lyrics from one a song about a man who wanted to become a fishman.
I wanted to go through the entire character design workflow for this project. Base mesh creation, box modeling/sculpting, texturing, rigging and animation. Creating a character that was instantly recognizable and visually interesting was the primary goal of this project.
Final 3D Character
Final result of fisherman character. Some proportions were adjusted.
