a very hastily done motthieu attack animation! My professor suggested that I animate something that’ll keep people from mistaking him for a 2D character, haha.

It’s @timitimi‘s character Motthieu! I really love his design!

Did you draw inspiration from Zelda: The Wind Waker for your art style? I just noticed the similarities with the 3d Motthieu.

Yes, definitely haha! Windwaker’s art style has influenced a lot of my art in general, both in 2D and 3D.

In fact his blend shapes look a lot like link too, lol: 

This is also a good opportunity to say that his facial expressions were made using poly planes and blend shapes, for all the 3D nerds out there like me. I wanted more control and cleaner shapes than what textures would have given me.

i don’t know if any of you remember Motthieu, but I decided to make a low poly-ish model of him for my open-ended post-thesis assignment! I had a lot of fun and might do a few more things with him in the future >:3c
