PARADIGM DEVELOPMENT
From rushed year 1 project to paper sketches to in-game level
Stylized Staffs
The stylized staffs were done as an exercise and learning opportunity to do with stylized workflows and production. I'd done hints of stylized work but I'd never heavily focused on specifically stylized work. The staffs are based off of a concept by Anastasya Zelenova, I really liked the concept, mainly because I'm a massive fan of mages and the arcane within video games but also because they were diverse enough where the staff wouldn't end up being the same process the whole way through. The staff themselves were created, uv'ed and textured ready for in-game use within two days.
