Little James vs. Corn of Coblin (The Weekly Planet)

My interpretation of 'Little James' (and his nemesis, Corn of Coblin) from The Weekly Planet. I had a lot of fun with this one; it also had its challenges such as interpreting my 2D concept into 3D, and doing a full groom in Houdini for the first time.
