I wanted to continue polishing my hand-painted texturing skills and thought this concept by Boulivet Alexis (https://www.artstation.com/neutrino-quarks) was so awesome. I learned a lot working on this model and can't wait to see more improvement with my next stylized character! Please check out their page, they have other really amazing concepts.
I also took this as a chance to try out character creators rigging. Accurig got results quicker than I thought, of course time still needs to be spent with weight painting but it saved a lot of time.
