Tired of generic NPCs? Need a touch of adorable spookiness for your next slice-of-life anime adventure? Look no further!
Introducing the Flat-Face Phantom (Hantu Muka Rata) – a delightful and truly unique 3D character model, meticulously crafted and inspired by charming Sundanese folklore from West Java, Indonesia. While its authentic name, "Hantu Muka Rata," literally translates to "Flat-Face Ghost," fear not! This spirit is far more likely to offer you a ride or a delicious satay skewer than a spine-chilling fright. It's spooky-cute, not just spooky!
Traditionally, the Flat-Face Phantom appears on misty evenings, often by the roadside, seeking a ride. But don't worry, they're not malicious! In fact, they're often depicted as surprisingly industrious, dabbling in professions like Satay Seller or Pedicab Driver. Their most striking feature? A perfectly smooth, featureless face – which, while startling at first, quickly becomes endearing in a peculiar, charming way!
This asset pack captures the essence of the Flat-Face Phantom's quirky charm, making it perfect for:
BONUS: "The Nine Falls in Sundanese style" Animation!
To truly capture the unique charm and comedic potential of the Flat-Face Phantom, we've included a special guide! Inspired by the incredibly specific terms for "falling" in the Sundanese language, this guide provides conceptual descriptions for 9 distinct ways a character can fall. While no animation clips are included, this guide serves as an invaluable reference for animators to create hilariously specific or culturally nuanced fall animations for this character (or any other!) that go beyond just a generic tumble.
