OnlyCans: Thirst Date -- Accessories: Animal Costumes
OnlyCans: Thirst Date is an erotic comedy-horror can-dating rhythm game. The original game was made in a week and a half, with the Hot and Steamy DLC and a graphical upgrade happening over the month following release.
Shown here are the animal-based costume props. My primary goal as the designer and modeler for the props was to ensure that the comedy was coming through along with the sexiness. As a main design pillar, I wanted to make sure that no animal costumes were of traditionally costumed 'sexy' animals. (i.e. no cats, no bunnies)
Screenshots are from in-game, renders from Substance Painter.

The bee-wings were inspired mostly by cheap Halloween costume wings.
I tried to capture the feeling of a reasonable hair-scrunchy that could be wrapped around a can.
Collars are common in sexy costumes, but I wanted to divert expectations, by having it not be a cat or puppy as is usually used in an erotic context.
