Tokoloshe

For this project I designed a 3D character for real-time and pre-rendered media.

The origins and powers of the Tokoloshe vary across cultures (Xhosa, Shona, Zulu), but the general theme portrays it as an evil creature that incites fear due to its ability to harm people. Traditionally described as short and hairy with a frightening appearance, the Tokoloshe is said to sneak into homes at night to punish mischievous children or, more ominously, to carry out harm.
