Hastings
Character Design, Modelling & Texture
Meet Hastings, a friendly owl inspired by my love for Harry Potter and named after the first owl I held in person. Hastings serves as the guardian of an old man's house, vigilantly watching over his domain. This model highlights my skills in environmental modeling and character design.

Clay Scene
I used oversized elements to create a cramped and cosy feel to the scene, ensuring the owl felt like the guardian of the space. A blend of library assets and custom made assets were used to fill out the space.
Textured Scene
Dark tones were selected to contribute to the inviting scene, as well as an emissive texture to create a winters evening. The large empty chair contributes to the overall feeling that the character is waiting for his owner to return and take his rightful place.
Clay Render
Modeled on his sleek, custom stand. Hastings model was hand crafted in Blender with an emphasis on his feathers. His plumes are strongly accentuated to add a rich texture.
Final Pose
Perfectly groomed feathers and his sleek white colour, coupled with Hastings big yellow eyes and dilated pupils add a note of sincerity and wisdom to his character.
