Magic Mushroom

I needed a simple but interesting character model for an animation and rigging project, so I made a stubby mushroom man in Maya and painted textures in Mudbox. It's mainly inspired by children's fairytales, but I gave it some creepy flavor by making it look fleshy and mutated. Its eyes are my favorite part and luckily they are reasonably lighter (no pun intended) than other surface effects, therefore I don't have to tone them down too much in animation stage.
