Fantasy-Fusion Creature

A 3D model of a fantasy fusion creature. With the task of creating a fire type Pokémon-esque creature, I created a custom creature from concept to final rendering that took inspiration from the pangolin and the crocodile skink. Concept and orthographic drawings were created as guides, and the modeling, rigging, texturing, lighting, and rendering were done in Maya, with the eye textures being done in Photoshop. The model was also rigged with a basic bone structure and weight-painted in order to allow posing. Created for my Introduction to 3D Modeling course.
