This is the most ambitious project I have ever taken. Before starting this project, I had no experience in Blender3D, but decided to take the step to try and create an animation within three to four weeks. I am very proud of the outcome and the amount of work I completed within the timeframe. I used many YouTube tutorials and experiments to come to the point I reached. And spent at least 20-30 hours in combination to learn basic modeling, sculpting, node work, and material and texture work. I am excited to continue to work on this project on my own time and upload a final version once I am pleased. The below video was my initial final render.
