The feel and look for the characters need to match with the rough painted feeling of the backgrounds so our approach was to start with a Plasticine/clay look and maintain some of the matte/flattened feel. Using mental rays mia_ materials, it gave us flexibility to reach this look and it allowed for multi-layered bump maps to distort the surface of the characters. These two characters were painted in Photoshop using the UV maps as a base, James on the other hand was started this way and then taken into Mudbox and cleaned up, by Juan.
