Introduction 

Hello, my name is bunbunarts and I’m entering this competition as hopes of learning something new as well as challenging myself.

With all honesty as a student at second year of university, Illustration has been a big journey for me. Part of my motivation was finding the courage to show my creativity and perspective of characters that lurk within my mind..I don’t have much knowledge about 3D models, however I have designed a character that I believe would fit into the world of fantasy and wonders of Tv and animation.

Character
This little fella is Methane and he’s a wonder who travels throughout lands in search of hidden knowledge within the deepest corners that no one has ever stepped foot in.


Appearance might fool other creatures, as he isn’t a weak explorer, he has the ability to extended spikes from his earthly palms. Equipped with imbedded crystals throughout his body and cloak, allowing him to  posses the ability to connect with nature and manipulate aspects within earth and mythical life. 


“What is a journey, without a thrill to search for the soul beacon of life that allows beings to explore the wonders of the worlds?- Methane Mayshroom 


Work in Process

Starting on procreate, I sketched out a rough outline of what I wanted to show the world. I believe there would be more than elves, demons, orcs, humans and primary creatures. 
I love nature, anything that shows a sense of personality through not just appearance, can present a beautiful picture to be seen within. 

This is why I chose to combine a mushroom and a living envision, as I grew up surrounded by stories and tales that would help me appreciate soft aspects within people and the world.

Since I wasn’t able to create a 3D model, I illustrated a turn around of the character to show 3D design, I also included a small sketch to show imagery of how he would defend himself and any companions he might have encountered, if means necessary.

So far, I am aware the competition ends fairly soon, however I am prepared to finish this project to show my work out there and help my visions come to life. I will be completing the post in the morning, with hope that people might enjoy my visions.

No worries! I've been in your shoes, feeling nervous about sharing my work and doubting my abilities.

Finished Design 
Completing the final design of Methane, I tried my best to include as much detail as possible without making it look too messy. 

Including front, back and side perspective of his design.
