notFishe creates anime, video games, and pop culture fanart merch using 3D and 2D techniques.

Behind the Design

Stage 01

Sketch

Every design starts as a rough sketch. Exploring character shapes, colour blocking, and popsicle compositions before anything is committed to screen.

Stage 02

Modeling

3D modeling brings the character to life. This is where proportions lock in and the design starts to feel like a real, holdable object.

Stage 03

Rendering & Surfacing

Colours, surface materials, and lighting are applied to achieve the final polished look. Textures ranging from soft clay to realistic food finishes giving the digital work a physical feel.

Stage 04

Final Merchandise

Printed, cut, assembled either through a manufacturer or handmade, ready for the convention table. The finished piece is what a customer will hold in their hands.
