Finalversion for the CGBoost challenge

I saw the winning entries for the previous challenge "Cute Warrior" and I wanted to create characters because it's outside my comfort zone. (I've noticed that I'm saying this very often, is there anything I'm very comfortable with? XD)

It took me a lot of time, practically the whole past 3 days non-stop, it was challenging and interesting. I'm happy with the character designs and how it turned out

also took inspiration from some lectures and youtube reviews I've seen in the past about the Rockstar Games universes, especially the GTA and RDR universes, and how they created believable worlds that feel like they can exist even with their absurdities. While game and level design is a very different matter, I still found it a bit helpful from the beginning. I detailed as much as I could, even for off-screen elements that reflect or cast shadows on the scene (but with the time constraint in mind, so I had to find the balance and not model any unnecessary elements)

The creation process was straightforward for the most part, but I spent a lot of time on the lights and composition trying to make it as I liked it. Even though the scene fits on the GPU, I still had a lot crashes and out-of-memory errors during the build process as I used a lot of fur and highpoly models and I didn't have enough RAM. "Time for another hardware upgrade", says Abdou for the 4th time in 6 months lol
