This ice element tiger model was my first quadruped animal model and it contains a lot of problems that needs to be fixed. I plan on problem solving some of the issues with my tiger model and improve the overall design throughout the semester.













On the second half of the semester my goal is to do an overhaul of my stylized character. A new redesign and improvement will be implemented to the character. Just like my tiger model, I'll be problem solving the issues present in the original design of my stylized character and improve it throughout the semester.
