Game On: Art: World of 3D

Since I am barely getting into 3Ds Max and Game Art, I didn’t know many 3D artists and artworks. So I decided to do my research and check out 3D works on sites like Artstation. After a bit of scrolling around through them, I chose to blog about this character model, since I like it the most of what I’ve seen.

I’ve always been more interested in character art than anything else, so there is no surprise to me I chose a character to blog about. Even so, this wasn’t the only thing that prompted me to this. Since my current art style is a bit more on the cartoony side (more towards the Overwatch art style, rather than the Assassin’s Creed one, for example), it caught my attention before the other equally good, but more realistic artworks. I think this style fits the fantasy concept well, giving off a fun and lighthearted vibe.

I love how the lower part of the composition, more massive due to the cape, large boots and even pieces of armour on the knees that are slightly bigger than the ones on the upper part, contrast with the thinner, smaller torso. Despite this, the use of orange, complementary to the blue used on the rest of the character, and the overall warmer tones contrasting to the rest of the composition (which uses colder colours) points the viewer’s attention to the face and expression of the character. Even more, it uses only the metallic texture on the armour, suggesting the other materials (the clothes, the wood of the wand, etc.) through form rather than textures.

Overall, I find the composition beautiful through its simplicity and use of carefully placed details that create centers of interest.

I also love the overall design of the cute little fairy companion ^^
