My work:

Worked has consisted of: Hero character design, modelling, facial modelling.

 

Characters I worked on: Honest John, Pinocchio, Jimminy, Gideon, Figaro.


Honest John

I had the pleasure of taking Honest John from 3D concept, through to the final model(body/head, no costume) and facial.
This was a personal favourate of mine, as the 2D concepts were quite loose, meaning I got to contribute a lot to the full 3D Design.

My work was focusd on the head/face, hands and feet. As the costume was a digidouble build, built by another team.
Initial costume maquettes were done during the concept process.

Along with the character design and build, I also built a full FACS facial shape network and explored Honest Johns key expressions and poses.
