Meet toasty

I recently stumbled upon something cool on Threads - an illustrator and toy designer named Hippy Potter posted about his new plush toy, Toasty.

The post included a dope 2D animation of the character that caught my eye. Inspired, I reached out to Hippy with an idea: what if I created a 3D version of the animation? He was on board, so I spent my weekend bringing Toasty to life in 3D.

It was a fun challenge, and I'm pretty excited about how it turned out. It's always awesome to collaborate with other creatives and see how different styles can mesh together.

Below is a breakdown of how I created the animation.
