Hello everyone! I'm happy to share my latest personal project — a stylized cartoon hippo character. I was responsible for the entire pipeline, including the initial character design, shapes development, and final render.
Concept & Design:
The main goal was to create a charming, friendly, and memorable character for a casual game or animation. I used soft, rounded shapes to emphasize his kind-hearted and slightly clumsy nature. I paid special attention to the proportions, large expressive eyes, and facial features to give him a unique and lovable personality.
Rendering & Style:
The style is inspired by modern animated feature films and high-quality mobile games. During the rendering stage, I focused heavily on lighting, volume, and material definition to achieve a vibrant, polished, and appealing look.
• Pipeline: Sketching → Line Art → Color Blocking → Final Render
Feedback and critiques are always welcome! Thank you for watching!
