This was a really challenging project that i had to face a lot of difficult obstacles along the way being:
Modeling a semi-realistic character - was really challenging all along understanding and learning about human anatomy and translating this information into semi animal anatomy.
Renders differences - At the start i started by modeling the character, and then moved on to adding materials and paints, later in the render i noticed the colors don't look as i wanted. So i had to go back tweak a lot of things to get a final result that i am happy with.
Environment building - That is true i mostly focused my time and energy on the character and making him do the animation. But i had to add the environment (3d modeled by myself completely), i tried to go for a desert feel with cacti and mountains. Building an atmosphere that is going to support and make the story more believable.
