A Little About This Project

This project was inspired off of the song Fish Inside a Birdcage. The idea is that Cerulean is atually Pickle's summon and serves as his Magical Girl persona. He can't exist without Pickle. He also took over Pickle's role as a magical girl, resulting in Pickle becoming a neat. Theoretically Pickle can make Cerulean functionally his own person and free him from his cage, but people believe that Cerulean and him are the same person. The two are chained together, and the only one with access to that key is the audience.

The Character Model

This model took a lot of time, but was a lot of fun! Unlike the original Cerulean model, this one was designed to be rigged, and both Cerulean and Pickle's models can be moved around and posed. I had started with making Cerulean, then cloned him for Pickle. Each of their hairs were editted different. Then I created the cage, the island, the keys, and, lastly, the flowers. The orchids represent Cerulean. He's pretty, but functionally parasitic. The lillies are Pickle, which are laying on the ground and wilting, fallen petals surrounding the cage. The two are chained through the cage in such a way that even if they manuevered the key and opened the cage, they'd still be stuck. Pickle's eating an apple since Cerulean is allergic to them. Being a prince, poisoned apples are his weakness. Pickle, being his opposite, is a witch.

The Textures

This project had me actually unraveling UVs for the first time and then drawing the textures overtop. These are the unfolded maps of the apple, the flowers, the island, Cerulean and Pickle's skins, and their eyes.

The References

Pickle and Cerulean each neded references for this project, so I made them seperately. These are different from Cerulean's initial reference since their outfits are different.
