I’ve been enjoying creating characters with a more streetwear vibe lately, so when I saw this 2D artwork, I thought: this is it. That’s how Koi Boy was born.

From what I understood, the 2D artist mac originally mixed a red apple and a fish to come up with the concept, haha, huge thanks to them for the inspiration and awesome art!
The model was made without sculpting, just pure modeling in Blender3D. I baked the AO in Marmoset Toolbag, and finalized the hand-painted texture in Photoshop after working on it in Blender.
The model is available for free download on Sketchfab, in two different color schemes.
