This model was made for mobile platform with around 10k tris and a couple of stylized toon shade and realistic maps. The cel-shaded toon version much preferred in the end as it more suited to the original classic version.
The whole modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation process took around 10 days. The challenging parts of this model is we only have limited reference, achieving the likeness, and having a simplified yet characteristic transformation animation.
