Octo Chef - University Game-Ready Character
Final model and development process for a game-ready character in a university course. I decided to model a design for a Splatoon-style boss I drew a few years ago, named the Octo Chef.
Looking to try and rig post-course.

Original Concept from August 2019
Concept evolution - the character was created from wanting a boss that could use a 'tornado' or 'whirlpool' style attack.
