Wooly Cat Adventurer

My first stylized 3D character created in Blender as part of a full character art workflow study.

This project was inspired by a character tutorial, but I expanded the process by creating the UVs manually, building the materials, and texturing the entire model in Substance Painter. I wanted to focus not only on modeling, but also on achieving a cozy stylized look with believable knitted fabric, soft materials, and a clean game-ready presentation.

The character was designed around a simple and readable silhouette with a handmade fantasy aesthetic inspired by indie games and stylized animation. Special attention was given to fabric details, stitching, color variation, and surface texture to make the wool and clothing feel tactile and warm.
