Hello everyone,
I am a recently graduated student from Savannah College of Art and Design and was exploring stylised art for the last 3 months. I am working on a project wishing to get into Blizzard Student Art Contest but the project was on hold till I actually graduate. I am new here but I would like to see what you guys think about it and hopefully, through my breakdown, I can showcase what I have done with this scene.
I have decided to go into Pandaria because the design has always been my favorite. This is a place I have created in order to remind the lore of Pandarens. It has since been rebuilt and it becomes a little garden. I am still working on this project as I wanted to add more small objects to it. Throughout a short 2 months of working on this project, the enjoyment that I got from working on stylize art is all the fun.

WIP

Took a shape of a Moonwell and designed this statue. I combine Druidism to Pandaren because I would imagine that when the Mogu was in power, the one way Pandaren would appreciate what they have was through druidism. Pandaren cannot be druids in a game but to this date, I believe many still
argue back and forth about this decision.

Here are some rocks I created, I first sculpted them in zbrush and then turn the normal maps that I bake into black and white. To enhance the hightlight of the object, I added in curvature map and softened it in substance designer.


The texture that I made for this task is mostly generated then hand painted. I hope through digital painting I am able to create this handpainted effect. With substance designer, I am able to get a tileable texture very quality, with this tool I don't have to paint the texture from scratch.
Please tell me what you think!
