Andre

Personal work.

I am a big fan of Andrea Torrejón's hugely appealing and funny work. I love the design of her main character, which is based on herself, so i made a 3D tribute for her.

I wanted to model something really stylised and unique. The head shape was quite challenging as the design only really makes sense in 2 dimensions.

You can see Andrea's work, and drawings of the character this is based on here:

Here are some examples of Andrea's drawings:
