The Friendly T-Rex

This project explores the development of a charismatic prehistoric character, focusing on the transition from initial concept to final render. The goal was to create a T-Rex that balances the imposing nature of a predator with a friendly, appealing personality suitable for narrative storytelling or feature animation. I started with a loose, gestural sketch to establish the character's weight and silhouette, prioritizing expressive facial features and clear line work. For the final version, I applied a warm, cinematic color palette and subtle textures to enhance the volume and personality of the design while maintaining a clean, professional aesthetic.
