I’ve started digitising and playing around with Pamela, the snail’s, facial expressions and gestures. Because she’s quite a kind but very sensitive, naive character, all of her facial expressions are exaggerated in style and composition. On the flip side, one thing I found fun yet a little challenging (in a good way) was getting the…

So upon reading my brief and playing around with grooving astronaut dances, I’ve started my research on what I want my characters to feel like. Not in a 3D sense but more…
Groovy Astronaut Grooving
Made this little guy as part of CDP. Pretty fun guy if I do say so myself. I accidentally forgot to turn off my guiding dots on my initial render. However, just re-uploaded so here’s my final little boogieing due.
Asset Dev: Scene 4 completed
