This is Blinn, a character that I designed to fit in the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom universe.
First I created a turnaround, and after that I made a 3D model.
Here is some Blinn lore:
Blinn is a 4-year-old kid who lives in Hateno Village with his parents. His father is away every day, defending the village from monsters, which Blinn really dislikes. He wants to spend more time with his dad! So, channeling all of his 4-year-old logic, he devises a plan: his dad wouldn’t have to defend the village if there were no monsters, so he has to scare the monsters away somehow...And what is the scariest thing known to Blinn? Monsters! So he decides that he is going to become a monster to scare the monsters away from the village. He crafts a little costume with his mom and practises his best scare techniques every day on unsuspecting passersby, including Link. He is a little shy about it, but surely he’ll be brave enough one day to help his dad!
He doesn’t protest while bathing, because his mother convinced him monsters smell like flowers.
He thinks his pet lizard is a baby lizalfos and hopes it becomes big enough one day to scare the other monsters away with him.
