About the project
Captain Cauliflower started from a simple idea: give an ordinary vegetable a name, a pose and enough attitude to carry a scene.
The design leans on rounded, friendly shapes and a warm palette, with lighting used to keep the character clearly readable against its surroundings.
He's not alone up there — the city around him is patrolled by a flock of curious pigeons, built with the same soft shapes as the Captain himself.
The untextured clay render below shows the scene before color and lighting: cape, belt buckle and clouds are all modeled as one sculpt, then brought to life in the final pass.
