Here comes Rico! - 3D Model

I've created a 3D model after an illustration "Here comes Rico!" from Max Langlet. The model was sculpted in Zbrush, retopologized and rendered in Maya, and textures were created in Substance Painter.

Special thanks to all of my friends who gave me pointers during this project.

Rico as seen on Sketchfab.

I saw this character for the first time in a Facebook group, called "Character Design Challenge" in September 2020. The challenge of the month was "Animal Skatepark". The character Rico was drawn by Max Langlet.

Since the original drawing was created in black and white, I've had to create a color palette. Out of all versions, the Orange (no. 2) and Blue (no. 3) palette were the strongest candidates.
