I made four props based on a concept around the National Park theme. I really tried to stick to the artist’s style, colors, and overall vibe. I went for a stylized look( https://www.artstation.com/artwork/W2wPNQ ), and it ended up with a bit of a Despicable Me or The Lorax feel.
I had a few struggles trying to optimize the assets as much as possible, but I figured it out using a high-to-low poly baking workflow. I had a lot of fun sculpting in ZBrush to match the concept and bring some personality to the prop while keeping the original style in mind.
