3D Salamander Creature Showcase

Project Summary

This project is a 3D organic modeling showcase created for a University 3D Modelling unit. The goal was to design and model an original game creature from scratch.

This model is a stylized Salamander, inspired by the anatomy of the Fire Salamander and the vibrant skin patterns of Giant Day Geckos. The design aims for a "harmless at first glance" aesthetic which using a cute silhouette and bright colors, but  hides more dangerous features like predator-like snake eyes, sharp teeth, and a stinger tipped tail.
