WIP">Firebunny: 3d Model WIP

Our cur­rent assign­ment at school is mod­el­ling a hi-poly non-human char­ac­ter. It was a fun chance to revisit a design from ear­lier this year/occasionally dreamed up pre­vi­ously: I had a much bet­ter under­stand­ing of the fire­bunny and it seemed much more suited for an ani­ma­tion assign­ment than the much more stoic wood­bunny.
