It is a student project.
Our task was to make a complex 3D piece of our choosing, we discussed much with our teachers, but ultimately, one cold winter morning I sketched up a character at random and the idea struck: Turn the sketch into a full blown 3D model.
The character later on turned into a much more complex one, and has since been explored a lot more, he is now a fleshed out villian of my on-going 3D short film project.
In this piece I mainly wanted to experiment with grooming and different materials as well as pratice modelling.
