Cool Cats were on 🔥 last week and evermore celebs are joining our crowd of NFT degens! We are more than happy to welcome among us, a new proud Cool Cat owner, Mike Tyson. Well, the cover concept was born in less than 5 minutes, maybe our fastest brainstorming ever. Let's have a look.

So the direction was clear: Create 3D Cool Cat #2724 but featuring Mike's signature face tattoo. So let's get ready to rumble!!! I had to learn a bit about growing hair in Cinema4d as I am still a bit of a rookie so every time it's still a challenge.

Immediately we can recognize that the Viking Cat is standing inside a boxing ring. I added this at the very end of the process when I realized I can use the sunglasses mirror reflection to show more surroundings.

Once you play the video (and with sound) you know that we're in for a fight tonight! Surprisingly Iron Mike himself is the one to challenge his own fluffy new pet.

I struggled a bit with recreating the cloth covering the cat's neck – what should probably be a Jabot, a 19th-century decorative clothing accessory. Well... I couldn't find anything better than a nice terry towel. But it worked. Soft kitty, warm kitty...  The Redlion pin on the coat is the sweet final touch.

Surprisingly everything went smooth, with no render fuck ups, so I invested some more time in the audio layer and built the fighting arena atmosphere from different samples.

Ok, guys, that's it. This week's breakdown was swift like Mike's knockouts! See you next week.
