Iris the impala is a character that I created in 2020, when I took a course in 3D modeling at Stockholm University of the Arts.
Because of my interest in character design, I choose to focus on character modeling and rigging. The process involved sketching, modeling and rigging a character with different facial expressions. I also made a 3D scene for the character.
Iris the Impala is based on the impala antelope, but possesses many human features. I designed her to have child-like features, combined with the ears, horns and slender limbs of an antelope.
