I based it on otter anatomy, naturally.
Modeled with Blender 2.9a, painted in Substance painter, rendered in Cycles (and EEVEE for the video).
It took me far more time to light and render than the rest combined, I am a bit insecure when it comes to that haha.
It’s so cute, I had to log in and comment! Excellent model.
This is a very nice take on the realistic Pokemon idea, as there are some out there who see the idea as taking a Pokemon and making it ugly.
This take avoids looking too much like the anime while not going overboard on the detailing, the otter anatomy seems to work well.
thank you!
