El Gato

As a personal project, I created a 3D model of Gato, a character from James Castillo's illustrations in Enrique Dueñas Ojos en la Noche book.
This fanart was my way of bringing Gato's intriguing design into the third dimension, showing the appeal of Castillo's original illustrations and a touch of my style. This model was made entirely in Maya, with an optimized topology and then a subsequent smoothing for rendering. Texturing in Substance and the final renderings were done in Marmoset Toolbag 4 with post-production in Photoshop to polish some details
