Hippie is a Flower type Lizard probably living in some forest in a child's dream. She has the body of a lizard but a personality that seems much like a dog's. This cute little forest dragon comes with the perfect disguise. In her free time she loves to chase butterflies and stand by some flowers and pretend to be one. If she had a superpower, I'd imagine it would have something to do with being able to camouflage and transform along with an ability to transform someone's stress or sadness into happiness when they pat her head!

As a little girl I was and still am fond of the anime series "Pokemon'' and love their world filled with cute but powerful creatures. I admire the creativity that they have put in to design these unique characters and I wanted to make something like that someday. For the look of my asset, I took inspiration from the live action movie "Detective Pikachu'' that features stylized yet semi realistic creatures and tried to achieve a similar look.

I took on this project to learn about different materials, few of which I hadn't explored before this attempt and also to expand my knowledge of Mari and Substance Painter. All in all, this project has been a great learning experience for me as someone who has recently entered the 3d industry.

### About the Artist

![nidhi-vazzhala-headshot.png](media://9a3caca4-9a13-44f6-a97e-1b2cfbc3be72)

I have always been an artistic person, so a profession related to art and creativity was my obvious career choice. I started my journey as a Graphic Designer, but there was something very fulfilling about creating 3d art that drew me closer to this industry and now I aspire to make a great career in 3d. I started working in this industry professionally as a Texturing and Lookdev artist at MPC Bangalore. Currently doing some freelance and working on upgrading my skills and portfolio.
