Dragon Plush, XGen Interactive Groom

This adorable little groom was inspired by patchwork stuffed animals and the charming world of Kirby's Epic Yarn Adventure. I wanted to explore many different materials and textures within this project.

Note: The original dragon plush was modeled by Evan Dickinson from a concept by Emmalie Hall, and its original look development was by Julia Boisvert. It can be found here: https://renderman.pixar.com/dragon-plush

In the following renders, you'll see that alongside the main base groom of the body, there's additional fuzz on the plaid and denim-inspired fabrics.

I wanted to explore lots of different tactile qualities with each different material, so each wing and arm have entirely different grooms.

The original rough concept. While actually making the textures, I ended up basing much of the patterns on that initial 3DS cover, like the blue patchwork on the horns, and that quilted plush on the belly.
