This was a prop project I set out to do. I mainly design and create my own 3D characters, so this time around I wanted to try making a prop that was designed by someone else. I searched a while looking for the right prop when I came across a piece by Nadia Kim (here is
her work, it is gorgeous!).

I wanted to test myself and see if I could finish this relatively quickly, since my previous projects have taken me months. Modeling went pretty quick, though positioning each piece of food relative to each other was a bit tricky and I continued to tweek it throughout the time I worked on this project.

Next I UVed and took the model into 3D Coat. Nadia has such a fun artstyle, I found myself working hours straight on texturing. Since texturing normally takes me forever, I was pleasantly surprised by my progress early on. I did end up nitpicking towards the end, but in the end I'm happy the way things turned out :)
