As a predominately 2D designer/animator I challenged myself to bring a character to life with 3D software. Created in Cinema 4D, I made sure to maintain the typical quirkiness that all of my 2D characters possess (was the neon green thong too much?)

Final concept sketch:

I started by sketching a funky character that I thought could provide a humorous take on the project. I gave him odd proportions and a bowl cut to make him a bit dorky. When I developed my idea further I found that I wanted his personality to display more cockiness so I decided to elongate the legs and accessorize with boots and a neon thong!
