run Rabbit

This character was developed for a student short film based around a Hare called Run Rabbit who is out for revenge on reckless drivers.

The design is inspired by Cinema Noir. 

To approach this I did an initial sketch in oil paint. To achieve the noir inspired lighting I did a monochromatic under painting in raw umber which I then painted digitally in photoshop. 

This design was for a 3D animation, the final model was built in Maya as a low poly mesh that could be rigged. Higher resolution hair textures where modelled in Zbrush to be applied as a displacement map. The final model was then textured in Substance painter.
