Monty the Raven – Dead Boy Detectives (Netflix)

This is Monty, the raven asset built for Dead Boy Detectives (Netflix). I handled the feather groom, shading, texturing, and lookdev, ensuring realism across both static poses and movement-based sequences. The model required layered feather systems, subtle iridescence, and physically accurate light response for production-quality close-ups.
