Made from concept art to a rigged and textured 3D model based on my table top character from Troika!. The direction I was going for with this project was to create an animation ready, humanoid character. In the renders, I have added a short, human sized spear, blades of grass, and an apple-like crystal fruit.

​

Rhonald is a guard of a lonely, long passed sorcerer, the clothing inspiration I had was from medieval fantasy - especially Renfaire costumes. The leather jerkin, beige clothes, tiny helmet and spear is to represent how poor his master was and how poor he is now. Then for why the metals are still sparkly and clean, well that is due to some mysterious old magic cast by the sorcerer. 

​

Rhonald the Rhino-man was named and created by his sorcerer master. Along with his brothers, they guarded the sorcerer and his abode as well as keep their master company. All his brothers all share the same "Rh" at the beginning of their names. 

​

Human knights use to serve the sorcerer, but they were not as loyal nor useful as the Rhino-men. 

​

The silver medallion worn is one of the many items maintaining its physicality. Without the medallion, the Rhino-man bound to it will cease to exist.

​

Personality:

Rhonald is down to Earth and kind-hearted. He loves food and is happy to share his food with other people. Even though the sorcerer he used to serve is long gone, he continues to stay in good spirit.

​

The Rhino-man has always felt indebted to his creator, thus continues to be loyal to the sorcerer and nobody else. Rhonald has been approached by believers of other deities to join their respective religions, but he has always turned them down and gives them a small portion of his food as forgiveness.
