Country: China
The word "Niu" is a play on "New"—as Niu means ox in Chinese. My character will be an ox in honor of this year's zodiac animal and its features/surroundings will be heavily inspired by shadow puppetry.

here is the moodboard!

i want the ox to be a little 2D like the red "paper" designs, but i also want it to look 3D with the environment. not sure how to do that, haha - my brain is a little fried :,)

time to experiment!
