Juniper
Magical Mishap (2023)
As part of the character team for the Animation Production Studio class, I created concept art, 3D models, and textures for Juniper, the witch main character. The final design stays true to the nature and mushroom themes that were present throughout many early witch concepts. Sculpting was done in ZBrush, retopology in Maya, and texturing was done in Substance Painter.

I took Kathryn Deykun's concept work and combined it with elements of other concepts that resonated with the class in order to bring together the final look of the character.
