Time Spent: ~ 60 hours

I aimed to create a rodent-like alien, with a visual mixture between fantasy and science fiction. I largely based the species off of existing rodents, but also mixed it with some other animal features and gave the character a unique set of paws that has two opposable thumbs on each paw. I wanted him to come off as confident, curious, intelligent, and competent. As well as kinda cute.

I wanted to keep the textures relatively simple, to maintain a clean cute cartoony style that fits with the character, while also putting as much detail is possible to make the character pop. Details such as anisotropy in the hair and clothing and subsurface scattering in the ears were important to that.
