I saw Star Wars: Visions and really loved this little guy's short, so I turned him into a hard-surface character. I learned a lot of different workflows within UE5 and got a chance to explore NPR rendering through a cel-shader, an outline PPV, and a Kurahara Filter.
Special thanks to Martin Gee and Paulo Santos (Santos877). While I was brainstorming, I found their fanart and they helped me with figuring out the design in 3D. And a very special thanks you to Takafumi Hori and Osamu Tezuka. Takafumi's concept art has been integral and I literally wouldn't be doing this project if Tezuka didn't make Astro Boy.
I had a lot of fun with this project and I learned so much from it.
