I modelled pikachu in 3ds max, then proceeded into 3d coat to do texturing, it was good to get the rust of and finally get back to 3d modelling workflows, this one was just doing hand panted textures,
Modelling pikachu from reference was harder than I thought, and took a week of working on it a couple hours every other day to get back into the full swing of things.
The created the model to be able to be turbosmoothed for a finer finish, but I left it at low poly, for personal preference.
