Amero - Character Design and Model

This is the breakdown of the Amero character that I modelled in "Paper Lotus" Short Film. I was in charge of the concept design, sculpting, modelling and rigging of this character before handing it over to my teammate, Azsmaan Zayne to be textured.

This character was made using the workflow of: ZBrush Sculpt > Maya Quad draw Retopo for Base Mesh > Advanced Skeleton Rigging.
Amero's character is inspired by the lotus-eaters in Greek mythology; taking this term on a literal sense, we chose to make him look like a rabbit. Figuratively, lotus-eaters are people who spend their time indulging in pleasure and luxury rather than dealing with practical concerns, thus we chose to add gold embellishments and finer details to his clothing to reflect this motif.
