It has some interesting features like integration of 2d animation into the 3d space. You can draw a frame by frame 2d characters directly into the 3d world. Plus its free. Its really hard to relearn 3d from scratch!

With animation, the simpler the better as a rule. It's also a matter of making the character appealing to a larger number of people at least with this one. Funny thing is, the original version WAS the simplest version I could do when I drew it!

The perspective was more important in this one for me to show the smaller part was set back and was likely added much later on from when the larger part was built.
