[complete] Meet Fred & Murgles!

bkost

Hey polycounters,

Here I'll be sharing my progress of a scene I built for the Sketchfab 'Sci Fi Circus' challenge.

Although I've completed the piece, I'd like to share the progress I captured along the way. Hopefully it may provide some use to one of you.

0. Story 

It's important to develop a backstory while building a character/scene/prop. Keep this story running in the back of your mind while working. Ideas will develop naturally and in turn help you bring unique characteristics to your model. Once presenting, the backstory will help immerse the viewers.

Here's the backstory to my 'Sci Fi Circus' scenes. 
'Meet Fred & Murgles! A Street act duo making their Circus debut performance. The two have grown in popularity with their energetic routines and silly antics. You won’t want to miss them! Coming to an intergalactic circus near you!' 

'Murgles on the Loose! Murgles caught wind of the funnel cake stand. There’s nothing stopping Murgles and his love for raspberry funnel cakes with whipped crème!'
