Here’s my 3D render of Daria Morgendorffer, inspired by the classic MTV show that defined so much of 90s counterculture.

I created this using Blender and Substance Painter, aiming to stay true to her sarcastic, no-nonsense personality while giving her a modern 3D twist.

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.
