Hey guys that's my final project for the Think Tank Mentorship with the amazing Gustavo Groppo ! Based on the concept from Yin Yuming. It was challenging to me getting out of my comfort zone and build a high quality char for feature films exploring such different materials. Hope you like it ! Cheers!
Rookie of the Year - Runner Up

Highly Commended: Mihai Muscan

Mihai Muscan - WE_E: Fluorescence
Fluorescence was created by the modern society seen through my eyes. Being able to share our thoughts, feelings and knowledge to everyone, everywhere, anytime via internet is truly remarkable. However we don't really know how to use it, how not to abuse it. We created it, but if we let IT control us, we lose ourselves

This is my entry for the Rookies 2019. For these projects I created characters with the purpose of being a 3D visual development piece. These projects were a great opportunity to learn about hand-painting characters and the general sculpt- to animated character pipeline.
