Wayward is a passion project of mine that I have been working on for the past few years. It is combination of my love for the quirky art style of Tim Burton and my interest in 3D character design.
With this piece I wanted to create monsters that looked and felt like they could be background characters featured in Tim Burton’s stop motion classic (and my favourite film) ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’. With each character design I created, I chose to challenge myself by modelling, texturing and rigging each character differently to the last, resulting in some truly unique looking character models.
I created the video below to appropriately demonstrate the details of each character in its polygon and textured form.
