Inspired by a real alebrije cactus I own and love, I wanted to recreate its colorful, playful character in 3D. I created the asset from start to finish, including modeling, UV mapping, hand-painted textures, and shading. The cactus later made its way into “The Alley” and appears among the background pieces in “Maria & Panchito”.
