Alice in Wonderland - Caterpillar

Hello there. I was in the mood to paint something in my sparetime so I decided to make an entry for the Character Design Challenge on Facebook. Theme of this month was Alice in Wonderland.

I hope you like my caterpillar. :) 

I started with the base shape and a pencil sketch, then it goes digital.

I played a little bit with NPR rendering on my last sculpt to achieve a comic look. Rendered in Keyshot and some final tweaks and the composition was done in Photoshop. *knock* *knock*
