The Owl
3D Modeling
This is a stylized 3D model of an owl, designed and sculpted in Blender. The model features a clean, glossy aesthetic with exaggerated, layered feather forms that lend it a toy like or collectible figure appeal. The owl’s large, expressive yellow eyes and sleek white body give it a striking visual presence. Displayed in a four angle turntable render (front, back, and sides), this model showcases detailed sculpting and material work, particularly in the feathers and eye reflections.

Challenge
Achieving the right balance between stylization and realism was a key challenge. Sculpting the layered feathers to look appealing from all angles while keeping the model clean and toy like required careful refinement. Ensuring the glossy materials and eye reflections looked natural in various lighting setups also took multiple iterations.
Objective
The goal was to create a stylized 3D character to enhance my sculpting and material skills in Blender, while exploring collectible toy aesthetics and clean visual storytelling.
Results
The final model successfully captures a stylized, collectible look with clean sculpting, vibrant materials, and expressive details, making it a strong addition to my 3D portfolio.
