Laputa, the Unwitting Researcher

3D ModelNoAI

Hero character developed for the game Split Skies. As the nature of the game’s movement involves a lot of high jumps and long freefalls, it was decided that a T-posed model would be better than an A-pose rest.

Our approach for the game’s art style has been stylized, but still leaning towards realism in cases such as proportions and finer details. Some notable examples of inspiration were Bioshock and Arcane, both of which share in the steampunk inspirations present in a lot of the designs.

Much of the equipment Laputa uses is for the sake of low gravity and high altitude exploration for the sake of studying and understanding old ruins and deciphering lost languages found within the old ruins that occasionally dot the descending sky islands comprising her world’s belt.
