Mirabella the Caterpillar Girl
ZBrush, Blender, Resin, Acrylic, Pastels | 2026
An animal-human hybrid assignment for my Creature Lab course. Conforming to the human body plan, we had to integrate our chosen animal's qualities through costume, shape language, and proportion. Mirabella is based off of a Japanese emperor caterpillar and wears Sakura blossoms and stems, and Daimyo oak leaves.
