Toby the Teddybear Development
A character design and 3d development project to design a teddy bear inventor named Toby and accompanying concepts for his world.
This project was special to me as my inspiration came from my childhood bear and the story 'Nothing' by Mick Inkpen which inspired the story behind Toby and his quest to find his way back to his child after washing up in an empty seaside town. He is resourceful, creative and determined shown in his ability to create inventions like his robot arm and his go-kart, The Kelpie.
Moodboard Research and Development
Toby went through multiple changes as I developed his personality and refined his silhouette.
His arm was developing up until I was finishing the 3D model.
The wireframe of the low poly model.
Finished textured model and texture map in Substance Painter.
