I find working with boxes and cubes easier than making points, so I decided to take it literally and make a box.
But then I decided to take this box and make a little character out of it. So, I added legs and arms to it. I thought of connecting a head, but I wasn’t able to get it quite how I wanted. Instead, I chose to extrude the vertices upwards, connecting them with edges, and make a floating head.
While this looks pretty good, the feet don’t show very easily so I added another light and took another render. This version also makes it look like it’s a smaller scale creature which I think fits perfectly.
