Soft clay render

A red panda sitting upright holding a small leaf, in a palette of sage green, peach and cream. Chunky soft clay render with plump rounded volumes, pillowy edges and tiny fingertip dents across every surface. Hand-moulded matte material carries fine fingerprint texture and slight sculpted irregularity, with a faint satin sheen on raised rims. Forms are simplified, friendly and toy-like, pressed together with smooth rounded seams. Soft diffuse shading models gentle depth, and small details are formed from tiny pressed pieces of clay. The subject is isolated on a fully transparent background: no background at all, alpha = 0, not white, not colored, no checkerboard pattern. Its soft natural contact shadow is rendered as semi-transparent black in the alpha channel, darkest where the body touches the surface and fading softly outward.
