This project showcases the character modeling work I did for the short film Way Out, created during my studies at Albert Jacquard in 2023.
The character is a stylized, lanky figure designed to reflect the quirky, introspective tone of the film. The modeling focused on strong silhouette readability, clean topology, and expressive proportions to support the character’s animation.
