3D Asset: Gaiaraptor

A full year after I initially designed this creature, I've now come full circle, and created a full body model of my personal favorite creature design( out of my current roster) for Portfolio 7 at Full Sail University. This semester, we spent the entire month finalizing our assets for our final demo reels. For me, the Gaiaraptor is one of the two assets I will have completed for this final turn in. Without a doubt, I am beyond proud of myself for committing to bringing this creature to life and happy with how the model turned out.

Pose 3: Aiming for a pose that conveyed motion, but not as aggressive. While it wasn't suitable for a turntable, I love the result.
