Just finished the excellent 'Absolute Beginners 3D character in Blender' course by Nikolay Naydenov (https://www.artstation.com/a/24967979).
The character is based on a wonderful concept by Deema Egorov (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/3dnbXD).
As you can see I chickened out of texture painting, but otherwise followed the course as it was laid out by the hugely talented and entertaining Nikolay.
