Here is a simple character sheet of our character. Originally, he was a salmon sushi without feet. During the production, we decided to add arms and feet to the character in order to solve some concerns that we had. Finally, we made this decision which turned him into a shrimp sushi.

The model of Buki was done around the end of Fab. Rigging took us a long time to finish. We faced a lot of weird problems which we had to solve them ASAP.
Buki is a small character. Basically, his face is his whole body. It is important to let Buki be as expressive as possible because everything is depends on it. We have over 100 blendshapes. Additionally, there more than 10 facial clusters to just tweak the blendshapes.
