Concept by Lin Chang: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/18R9DL
I wanted to explore stylized art, inspired by the games I loved as a kid, like the early Ratchet & Clank series, Rayman 2 and 3, Beyond Good & Evil, Jak & Daxter, and the Oddworld series. Those whimsical fantasy/sci-fi settings had a unique charm and loads of personality.
I’m also a big fan of Pixar's blend of realistic materials with cartoonish designs, so I chose to use a PBR workflow for this project.
Lin Chang's concept art instantly took me back to those days, and I was excited to give it my own interpretation.
