ECHO!

i'm not sure what compelled me to make a new model for them, but i did...

more images & ramblings below

the original model is almost exactly 3 years old (november/december 2022)

i think the improvement is quite obvious, which is funny because i only worked on three other models in that whole 3 years (will and celeste, as well as egret who was never "finished" and haven't posted. she was only missing rigging, though.) honestly with how well this one turned out i'm considering redoing those...

both of these models were designed with real dreamcast specs in mind. under 2k tris, all textures under 256x256 (aside from the eye which is 64x512 because of how animating textures works in blender). i'm not sure if the new custom shader would work- i actually based it on the style of klonoa 2.
