An exploration of Rocky from Project Hail Mary via Mid Journey

Spoiler warning.
Meet Rocky, co-star of the incredibly entertaining novel by Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary. Using a number of different Mid-Journey results I combined what I liked about each while following the book description of the Eridians as closely as possible. I left out Rocky's green shirt, will explore that design in a future project.

Result from mid journey, was too 'dark' and 'cool' for this friendly character, but liked how the spotlight framed Rocky.

Generated a number of different results for Rocky, this had the most interesting surface quality and was used as a base for the final design.

Liked the background here but not the shape of Rocky, this bg is used very faintly to add abit of interest.

Thought the squat shape here was a little more in line with how he was described in the book, but the colour scheme wasn't appropriate for Rocky, he's a good guy/Eridian.
