Sonic 3 (2024) - Shadow Character Design

This is the official character design from the movie, not a fan art! The sequences include an early 3d concept proposal (notice the gloves and shoes were slightly different) and marketing poses I did with Tyson.

Contributed with character visual development, modeling, facial expressions, texturing, lookdev updates on groom in Houdini, dirt/dust/damage masks, and more. I’m really glad he was so well received in the show!

Once again, Tyson Hesse’s art direction was absolutely vital in iteratively arriving at an iconic look. It's been a pleasure working with the director Jeff Fowler, VFX supervisor Ged Wright, and Martino Madeddu, and everyone involved.

Hope you enjoyed!
