Hey guys, student at ASU here, first time posting and first flippednormals challenge!
This is also my first time creating a real-time character (that wasn’t for a class), so I hope to learn a lot about character design and to get more used to the pipeline.
For this challenge, I found an amazing concept piece made by the extremely talented Alvaro Cardozo (https://www.artstation.com/alvarocardozo) and was lucky enough to get permission to use it for this challenge.

Here’s a picture of the concept I’m working off of:

Alllllright, I’m finally done! Here it is:
Had a lot of trouble during the texturing process and there are still parts of it that I don’t feel too good about, but in the end I’m extremely proud of myself for sticking with it till the end. Please let me know what you think! Thank you to FlippedNormals for this challenge and a great learning experience!

I think this is awesome! I like how it feels both dark and friendly, and the texturing just rocket the character to the next level. Congratulations on this achievement
