I have always been fascinated by beautiful bonsai trees (especially Japanese maples that I used as references) and also found red pandas pretty cute. So, I have been about to mix the beauty of bonsais with the cuteness of red pandas in a low-poly scene. 
Obviously, at first, I needed a tree to work with. I sculpted three trunks with a few branches using mainly the “Grab”, “Snake Hook” and “Crease” sculpt brushes. I created only a few branches since I knew there was no need for more because of the low-poly foliage hiding it. Then, I used the “Triangulate” and the “Decimate” modifiers on the trees to get the low-poly result I wished for. By never applying the modifiers on the model, I could easily modify the shape of the trees whenever I wanted.
After the trees, I only needed a cute low-poly character with a simple armature containing a few bones. It was a bit difficult for me to achieve the right shape for the head. I hope I managed to do that. It took me a while and a lot of red panda face reference images.
Hope you like it. Feedback is always welcomed.
Thanks for watching my post,
