Gnomer!

New layout for my next environment project. A rebuilt, improved Gnomeregan serving as a transportation hub for all of the alliance. Partially under construction:

WIP concept of the hall of gears:

This is going to be a big project yet also so awesome.

Ceruleon's Throne

Environment created while taking Kevin Griffith's 3D environments for games class at Gnomon. An underwater environment designed from scratch. I learned a lot about the fundamentals of game environments from taking Kevin's class. Kevin is an all around awesome guy who really knows his stuff and I recommend his class.

Additional Screenshots:




















The story of this environment is an underwater civilization that has fallen into ruin due to an evil corruption. A malevolent force trapped underneath the throne room of the Ceruleans burst forth from the ground and took over the kingdom, forcing it's citizens to do it's bidding. The brave adventurer journeys to the throne to vanquish the corrupted king, who is symbiotically linked to the king.

Concept Work:

















I wanted to create a more original environment and so combined the room with the boss monster, corrupting half of it and put a cool looking crack in the middle of the room, from where the corruption leaked out. You can see images depicting the ceruleans in the fresco etched on the walls. After the class was over a spent a lot of time refining the painting.

Blighfrost Tower

Personal Project inspired by World of Warcraft. A tower designed to be dropped into enemy territories to freeze and corrupt the ground. Nerubian inspired harpoons would fire from the tower to anchor the structure firmly in place. Based on existing scourge ziggurats, I wanted create something that felt like an upgrade to existing base defenses. Kevin Griffith provided me with excellent feedback, and the tower became much squatter then the original concept painting.
