GIF(t) Challenge Part 1 (Christmas) WIP - Christmas polar bear

Contests and Challenges

Christmas polar bear.

This is my first post and challenge.

Hope you guys like it.


First of all, I tried to make a polar bear based on this video. Fortunately I succeeded and it looks cute.

Secondly, I wanted more Christmas feeling, so I added some gifts and snow.

Finally, I add some text and animate it.

    Nicely done!

    (He looks a bit sad though, sitting al alone in the snow with his gifts...)

    Christmas is spelled wrong (Chirstmas), you might want to change that...

    He looks a bit sad though

    Adding an emotional expression to a realistic sculpt can be challenging and would likely fall into uncanny valley, (though it may not be challenging to low-poly model or toy.) 

    I just wish that there exists a course about realistic emotional sculpting. That is what our currently digital world lacks.

    A very cute polar bear, 

    and a very nice GIF.

    Maybe he is a little sad because he is in ice-olation.

    I can't see your GIF in the gallery, if you can added it as an image that would be great.

    I will share this thread with the judges, but it would be a shame for you and the rest of the community to miss your excellent GIF.
