Unthinkable to have completed this without ZBrush. I'll post some breakdown images and ZB screenshots etc later.
Please let me know what you think and consider subscribing to my Youtube Channel. There will be more to come, including tutorials!

Cheers!

PS: Also , be sure to check out the original version:

For the most part it looked good, however the animations for everything seemed too flat... The head is only going up and down, when it should be dragging and having arcs

Thank you very much for your comment and critique. It's well noted and kept in mind for future projects.

Cheers!

The Kimba Model is adorable. It's great. Better than the original.
Where I am critical of it, is when the original animation does a bad job with animation, and then you just copied it, in 3D.

Thank you very much for the compliments and well justified critique.

I did copy the old animation intentionally thinking I needed to match that animation to capture the feel of the original. That's exactly one of the experiments that I believe failed. Well, lesson learned for coming projects. Thanks a lot again for pointing that out, re-confirming my own thoughts. Its very much appreciated.

Cheers!
