As an assignment for 3D Character Modelling unit in university, I decided to re-create Sentai Leader Red. With the benefit of extra time, I addressed two components of her designed that I felt could have been made stronger: her status as a warrior, which was obscured in the original by leaning into the classic Sentai look, and the visual damage to her armor to indicate her experience.
While this was a 3D project, I wanted to retain the stylized 2D look of the character, and kept the hand-painted quality to her texturing.
