So I recently made a Gumball machine using Blender, which was to serve as another piece of hard surface modelling for my portfolio. However I decided to go a bit further and turn it into a character from a show called Regular Show who is a walking talking gumball machine, turning into a piece of character/hard surface modelling.
If you're unaware of this character then check out this video of himself in action.
Cheers
