I recently rewatched the wonderful LILO AND STITCH with its lovable, anarchic alien lead.

Initially I wanted to try a more realistic approach to Stitch, that kind of anatomical reality that Terryl Whitlatch applies to fantasy creatures. I’ve also been looking at the terrific work of Neal AKA Verdantsculpts who excels at these kind of creatures (check out Neal’s shop !)

In the end, with only a few nods to realism, including Pug-like rolls of fat and plaque, I stuck pretty close to Stitch’s creator Chris Sanders‘ design.

If it ain’t broke… Well, Stitch will probably break it.
