Stylized Creatures Modeling Series
This project page will focus on some high-poly stylized creatures that I modeled, textured, and rendered from sketches I drew when I was a child. The creature you see above is named Oogle and I modeled him in Maya from the sketch featured below.
Other Creatures
Below are other creatures I modeled from childhood sketches. On top of each stack are the rendered 3D images and the bottom are the sketches.
Castaurus
When I was 12 years old and in the sixth grade, I had an idea for a video game called "Cybug". Featured below is Castaurus: a species of bipedal alien that was going to be one of the animals featured in the game. When modeling in Maya, I modified the species to be carnivorous and adjusted its looks accordingly. I no longer have access to the 3D file of the creature, as my Maya free trial expired.
Aardy
A bit of context about the sketch below: when I was a little boy, I had a creepy dream that I was watching TV late at night and immediately sitting to my right was a pink anthropomorphic aardvark. I didn't turn to look at him because I was too scared, but I knew he was there. I drew him and decided to re-create this drawing in a surreal 3D scene using Maya and from a back perspective to showcase a mysterious silhouette rather than a clear-as-day view of the creature. I no longer have access to the 3D file of the creature, as my Maya free trial expired.
