GUARDIAN

Character creation, rigging and animation

GUARDIAN is a fully rigged 3D character by me. The design is inspired by my love for sci-fi and also an interest in merging it with something mystical.

My goal in creating this whole rig on my own was to make it comfortable to animate the character while also giving myself as much control as possible with it.

My initial idea was it for the character to utilize the halo in a more combat oriented way, so I made the halo create the weapon which GUARDIAN can then draw.

Conclusion

By working on this project of mine I pushed myself and my ability to create 3D models and sculpts to texturing and then animating it and learned a lot on the way.

Thank you for taking your time to look at my work, I hope you enjoyed it!
