Fenri

Fenri is a young Halfling who earns her money by cheating people out of their hard-earned coin at cards and dice until the authorities catch on to her and she's chased out of the city.

She then assumes a new name and tries her luck in a different town.

​

Her wanted posters notoriously look nothing like her.

​

 

Fenri was a model I mostly created because I wanted her to look cute in the renders. She was a very loose sculpt, mostly based on my old doodles of her with no concrete reference image.

​

Although I did retopologize her body and clothes for easier rigging, I never bothered doing the same for her hair or eyelashes, driving up her polycount by a lot.

This model was also a chance for me to experiment with UDIMS instead of putting all her textures into one file like I usually do. 

I think the biggest time sink I encountered while working on the model was probably my own inability to decide if I wanted to use haircards or cartoony polygon hair. 

In the end I ended up settling for an overall more stylized cartoony look for her which I think fits her well.
