Creating Adorable Stylized Game Boy-Inspired 3D Robot Character

Julio Benavides, also known as Benavidmark, is a 3D Artist with a passion for collectible designs for 3D printing. His latest project is a heartfelt homage to the concept art of Cameron Sewell, celebrating everything we love about childhood gadgets and cute robots.

Julio recreated the design from scratch as a hard-surface modeling exercise, using Maya for modeling, Substance 3D Painter for texturing, and Blender for rendering. If you're a fan of nostalgic tech, tiny mechs, or just curious about the behind-the-scenes of 3D art, check out the renders below and read the detailed breakdown, walking through each step of the process, from modeling, clean topology, and texturing, to lighting and final presentation.

Julio has made the final model available for download on his Gumroad, ideal for study, reference, or creative inspiration.
