I woke up this morning and I wondered what would a slothicorn toy look like. So I decided to make one. Unfortunately ,It's not a real toy that you can play with though because I don't have the resources for that. It's just a mock up that I can build in 3D. I was thinking of making it like one of those toys they put into a mcdonald's happy meal.

The Process

Before I build the 3D model, I do a sketch of what it's going to look like. I am not gonna be 100% sticking to this design, it's more of a guide that will help me when I am building it in 3D.

So next I go into my 3D software to build the basic shape. As you can see the silhouette is already a little different than the original sketch. I decided to go for a bit more roundish figure.

Now I sculpt it a little bit . I use a software called zbrush which gives you the ability to sculpt 3D models just like real life clay. I added some details to the toes and fingers too.

Now we go to the texturing stage where I apply color to the 3D model. I choose this brown as a base color.

I paint in the eyes. If you are curious what that that red line in the middle is, it means symmetry mode is on, so when I paint on one eye, the other will also get painted automatically.
