Coffee Shop Claire

As a long time environment artist, I had always wanted to do characters. I started on Claire in 2016 shortly after seeing Zootopia as I was so inspired by the artists work on bringing that classical 70's/80's Disney 2D character style to 3D. I fumbled my way around Zbrush and made a not so great version of this mouse girl. I put her away until November 2022. I picked her back up, updated and refined her sculpt and then set out to learn how to retopo, do fur and groom hair, create believable shaders, create a set and try to rig (I cheated and used Advanced Skeleton but for a still it seemed the way to go). I'm really proud of my first character, I learned so much creating her!
