As tedious as this is, it is easily my favorite part of character rigging lol.

A detailed look at the simple body sculpt. There's also a displacement map for the bumpier and more keratinized areas of skin.

I spent nearly two South Park episodes worth of time trying to polish the topology of Nermling's hands. The vestigial outer digit ended up being even more of a hassle than I expected.

More Nerm progress. His feet are meant to be semi-plantigrade, similar to an elephant.

An older design for Nermling. Originally I accentuated his gem heritage by making him almost intersex in appearance (he had breasts), but later on I toned down those elements so that his gender identity wouldn't be accidentally misinterpreted.
