Chiko & Roko

NFT figurine, created for Chiko & Roko daily NFT airdrop.

The concept is based on Orwell's "Big Brother", where in today's age, anyone can own a drone and monitor us from above. The base figurine, Chiko (a hedgehog), is equipped with goggles, a remote control, and a drone, and sports a cyberpunk style. All modifications were done in Maya and textured in Substance Painter. The painting style is cartoon-like with basic color, highlights, and shading.

The figurine was well-received by a community of 500,000.

Intro

Working process

I acquired a 3D model of the ArToys project and made modifications in line with my concept using Autodesk Maya, Adobe Substance Painter, Adobe Illustrator, and Keyshot for rendering. However, the process initially began with a dummy render, using Photoshop and a Wacom tablet.

Shadows, highlights, and color transitions were drawn to achieve
a more "cartoonish" style.
