Nathan King - Rookies Entry 2023

Hello, here is my rookies submission for 2023. Separated in two parts: Stylised and Photorealism. 
I also had the pleasure of talking about my work and university in an article for the Rookies: https://discover.therookies.co/2023/05/27/insiders-guide-billy-blue-college-of-design-at-torrens-university-australia/

Stylised Pieces 

Westfall Remaster

From the famous zone in World of Warcraft, meet Westfall but after the fourth war. After the region has rebuilt and where new life thrives. 

I decided to remake the zone in a new light essentially. Remake some of the most famous parts of the zone but with a new story. I decided to adopt the same hand painted style of WoW itself. 

This is a ongoing project that has been in progress over a number of months. I got more to share soon, but for the rookies submission I'm showing just one view. 
Here is also the progress shots. 

Photorealistic Projects

Tokyo Takeshita Dori

Even though this was submitted last year. I didn't show the progress I made on it AFTER I incorporated feedback. Here is the final shot with all the changes.

OMEGA Sector 2 

The OMEGA facility contains some of the worlds dangerous threats, one of which is the ominous entity known only as 'The shadow'. In sector 2, mid level threats are contained safely.

This environment was a submission for the EXP challenge. The original base concept was created by Klay Abele and iterated upon with my own ideas.
