Toucan Teapot

This piece originally started as a small game, where I wanted to design something based on the two words "beak" and "teapot". After creating the first concept, I really wanted to turn this guy into 3D for a long time now & I'm happy that he's finally done ✨🐦

Amazing feedback from my friends helped me a lot with the iterations on the concept and the final model on the way, and is the reason while this little guy ended up sitting!

The textures are all handpainted and the model is rendered in Marmoset with unlit diffuse textures only (except for the eye, where I tried to achieve an effect similar to a glass marble). I also had a lot of fun playing around with panning material textures for the steam, which is something I haven't tried before.
