Let’s see if I’ve made any progress in 12 years…
Hand-made in Blender, Krita and Davinci Resolve. No photos, scans or motion capture. Music by me. Best viewed in 4K (even on lower res screens, as it reduces banding).

Modelled/rigged using real-world measurements and animated by referencing video footage frame-by-frame.
