The Throne of Oldhim

The project started during a character art course at Futuregames. I really liked the concept by Alexander and wanted to try to make it a character that could be found in a game like Heroes of the Storm. The sculpting, retopo and texturing of the character was done in 3 weeks and after that I made a rig and a simple idle animation. 

When designing the environment I took inspiration from the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit movies. I'm usually drawn to a more stylized art in games and it was a real challenge to try and combine the references and the art direction to also fit with the character.

For this project I really wanted to push myself and learn new workflows. I focused heavily on optimization for games and also dove into Substance Designer to create a couple of materials and trimsheets.
