Hello fellow forum-goers. Consider this thread my way of showing my progress of stuffing my portfolio. It's not gonna contain tutorial items or the traditional hand-painted barrel (unless they're gonna be in an environment piece). That being said, here is what my first project will entail. Redesigning Skyloft from the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
As you cen see from the image, it's design leaves a bit to be desired in terms of being a major bastion of the Hylians. All there really is is an academy, the Statue of the Goddesses, the Bazaar, A cemetary with only 9 headstones, and 5, maybe 6 residences. In realistic terms, I would envision Skyloft resembling something like this:
Much better, but lacks a Skyward Sword-esque feel. I'm gonna attempt to combine the scale of the latter image with elements from Skyloft. For starters, I have done a revamp of the Goddess statue, making her look less like a nun, at least that's what I saw.
Comments and crits are welcome.
