Firebomber - Boom Beach Frontlines
What started as a different take on the original "Grenadier" character, ended up as a new troop, the "Firebomber". This Islander makes a coconut concoction that bursts into flames when it hits the ground. I was responsible for the concept as well as the model and textures.
By pulling the cork the fuse ignites
The basket was a bit tricky, I made a tileable weave pattern and applied a bend modifier to wrap the whole thing into the basket shape

Originally we planned on making him quite short, but in his final version he's a lot taller
Existing Boom characters and Islanders were used for inspiration
It's always fun to make an emote after the 3D work is done
