Disney Characters

Last year I was asked to create a CG turnaround of two popular Disney characters. The client was Walt Disney Products UK. I'm not sure if it ever was used for anything other than a reference for other artists, but I think that was the initial goal of the images. I Modeled, textured, iluminated and comped the images myself. For the Tiger Image I started from a previous model that I had to modify and pose.

Was good fun to work with such popular characters and try to make a CG version of them that was somehow respectful to their 2d original counterparts.

I had a lot of help from Disney artists that gave me the sketches and drawings with the pose they wanted. And they kept doing paintovers to my pose to improve every little detail, curve, shape or silhouette. I really love to collaborate with traditional artists. There is something to learn in every line they draw. All the process was supervised by Stephane Kardos (see his amazing blog on the links list).
