To keep donkey within scope, we decided to create donkey as a cut out sign, rather than his organic shape. I modelled the low poly mesh for donkey in Blender. I used Shrek's "Beware Ogre" sign as a reference for the type of wood and shape that the cut out will be based on. I also used the reference to get the wood color and aged look for the cut out. I sculpted the details and baked and textured him in Substance Painter. Texturing the wood and age look was done in Substance Painter as well as increased the levels curvature to bring out more details. To get the Donkey image, I drew it in Photoshop and imported it as a PNG file and imported it like a sticker in Substance.
