Has it really been 10 years already? Here’s one out of several of my first generation production ready 3d characters for my portfolio and website from my art college days, late 2010 to mid 2014. To this day this character, Malignant, would enter my mind on rare occasions. Despite it being a really old and elementary design, I thoroughly enjoyed sculpting and texturing the tree like details as a young 3d artist back in 2014, not to mention the lighting and rendering stage as well. I can still see the small details and imperfections that the young me would make in the design. Basic premise of the character was how negative thoughts and overthinking become a growing tumor within that needed daily attention to prune. This was also intended to be featured in several vfx shots to a short film of mine with some friends back in the day which sadly never came into fruition.
