✿ Breakdown ✿

Rig Setup

Maya

This is the rig for Lommi and Lomini, who share the same root setup. Both characters include space switching for the arms and legs, as well as an IK spine to support classic cartoony stretch and squash.

Face Rig

Maya

Lommi features a simple facial rig, including an eyelid setup and eye controls that allow for directional movement. The eyes can be set to follow either the head or the world, depending on the animation needs.

Model and Texture

Maya + Photoshop

The model for Lommi and Lomini was created by me, along with fully hand-painted textures in Photoshop. The visual style was inspired by experimenting with unique brushes during the exploration phase.

Animation

Maya

The animation concept was inspired by Gwen from TFT, particularly her ability to transform into a smaller version of herself. I found this idea interesting and used it as an opportunity to explore animation with a character that shares the same root while shifting between forms.
