On New Years Day I decided it was time to do some work again. So I tried drawing out a new character that I could model....instead I drew a fox/cow wearing oven mits. There have been days I've questioned my thinking process, but never as much as I did in that moment.
He's pretty cute though, and I got to thinking, he'd be twice as cute if there was a 3D model of him! So as I imported him into Maya as an image plane, I decided I would aim low poly, under 2000k tris. And, instead of being realistically textured, he'd be painted almost like a vector graphic.
I began by modeling the body, arms and legs. His face was fairly simple. It was the hair that got me though, since (as usual) I had no real plan for it other than it should be a Mohawk.
In the end, Punk Moo Moo, ended up being 1901 tris. He isn't rigged for animation, but his body structure is so simple I don't think I'll ever need to. He took about 2 weeks to finish, but I didn't really apply myself the way I should have. He could have easily been done in a few days.
