Pandereto McShaker - Cartoon Character

I am happy to publicly introduce Pandereto McShaker, my first finished cartoon character, ready to rig and animate.
Let’s hear a bit of his background story. Back in his country the Mostachio Police was after him for having the gorgeous mustache you see, for such a big fantastic mustache is absolutely illegal and should be shaved. But Pandereto loves his mustache and knows the appeal of it, so to avoid further persecution, he has gone into hiding and eagerly awaits in Cadiz, Spain, the day his mustache is legalized again.

He was modeled in Zbrush. His topology and UVS were made in Maya. Texturized in Substance Paint. The vest was firstly simulated in Marvelous designer, then exported to Maya and Substance Painter for the texturing. The hair parts and the vest grooming were made with Interactive Xgen in Maya. For the posing I did a fast rig in Blender and exported the posed mesh to Maya for the rendering process with Arnold.

This project was made during my studies at Animum Advanced Creativity School. I would like to thank Miguel Ángel Carriqui and Miguel Miranda for their feedback.
