3D Character Model: Brother Bear - Tanana

Meet Tanana, Disney’s beloved grandmother from Brother Bear, reimagined in Pixar’s modern 3D animation style.

This is my take on Disney Pictures´ best grandmother, Tanana!
I tried to imagine how she would translate to Pixar´s modern 3D animation style, as I give my favorite “Brother Bear” character another chance to shine.

This project reflects my vision of how Tanana could be translated into Pixar’s signature look while retaining her original charm.
I hope this modern take on Tanana resonates with both new and long-time fans of Brother Bear!
