Sometime in 2023, I had the opportunity to work on the live-action film, Mikolo, which later screened in cinemas and went on to Prime Video.
I was responsible for creating several production-ready characters and assets for the film and one of my favorites among them is this rocky creature.
This character went through multiple iterations, and interestingly, the creative direction leaned away from the conventional approach. To achieve the desired look, all textures and normal details were entirely hand-painted, allowing us to push a very specific, stylized feel.
