Reading Dog

A project done while at Aquifer for a company that has an avatar dog that helps people learn how to read. We were tasked with bringing the 2d design to 3d, to work within our system. Our main concerns were a faithful update to the design, mouth movement that read well for teaching and how the dog moved.
I was responsible with concepting, sculpting, low poly, bake, texturing and blendshape work for the character.
