Concept Art & Illustration - 2022 - Bastien Chapitaux

Shard

Here is my graduation project done at Artside School !

We had a month to make up a world building project, thought as a video game, with creatures, props, characters and environments concepts.

Shard is thought as an open-world RPG game with The Witcher and Monster Hunter vibes.

In this universe, giant magic crystals grow in a tundra environment, which the local tribes farm for several crafting purposes. But these crystals are a double edged sword as they can also slowly grow on organic matters like parasites.
