Some examples of a 3d character exploration I created during the early stages of an internal project. I was originally provided with some simple 2d artwork for the character, which I then expanded upon in 3d to explore the look and get a feel for who this little guy might be. The images helped to get an idea of how the project might develop, where it might go and how best to convey the tone of the project through the look of its hero. As usual with pitches, styleframes or 3d explorations, I used Modo for everything and posed them with a simple pose-rig. Paintover and finish work was done in photoshop.

A buncha little guys…
