Hybrid

Character Design

Description:

Hybrid

The hybrid is a combination of an orangutan with the hooves and head of a goat and the antlers of an elk created for Character Design. The concept of the character is that it is a local cryptid; the most popular theory is that it is the messenger of the devil, sent to individuals about to die to warn them of what is to come in the afterlife. The goal of the project was to create a non-human character and to learn how to model in ZBrush.

I did all modeling in ZBrush, texturing in Substance 3D Painter, and final editing in Adobe After Effects. The rig and animation was provided by Mixamo. All sound effects and music used are royalty free and come from freesound.org.
