[Original Character] Hikaru Asakura

Say hello to Hikaru Asakura, my first original character! This was done as an assessment for my Game Art Foundations course, which allowed me to venture outside of my comfort zone - I primarily work with hard-surface objects and realism. Given our triangle budget of 5k, I opted for a low-poly model due to financial constraints. The rig is designed around parent-based functionality without any bones or additional features, hence the separate limbs. As I progressed, I realized that I'm still a novice when it comes to character design, modeling techniques, and hand-painted texturing - now it's time to put in some extra practice!
