Game-ready character

Howest DAE - Stylized Creation - “Simple Creature Assignment”

Took some liberty from the original concept when translating it in 3D.

• This is especially true regarding materials, with the addition of metal elements which were originally rocks.
• I also pushed the values of the head from dark red to a yellow gradient, to not have it too dark and make it the focal point of the character.
• The Sword orignally had a plain high roughness yellow tone, which honestly I found quite sad. Tried to increase material variation while staying true to the orignal concept. I think it adds readability :)
• Shapewise, I lost a lot of the “geometrical jaggedness” of the orignal concept. The fact that the shape of the head changed with each concept iteration did not help, but this is also due to my will to “cutify” the character.
• The diorama was made quickly and with the sole purpose of presenting this character.
