Conclusion Masters of Art in Game Design

Image
The journey of creating these models has been both a creative and technical endeavor that ties directly into the goals of my Master’s project. Each model I designed, from the cursed skull lantern to the ink rapier, the ocean hand blade, and the wind staff, represents a deliberate effort to explore how 3D assets can seamlessly integrate into various game worlds while maintaining their individuality and functionality. This project allowed me to dive into the art direction, gameplay mechanics, and immersive storytelling of games like Sea of Thieves, Elden Ring, and The Legend of Zelda, drawing inspiration from their unique aesthetics and systems. The central challenge I set for myself was to create assets that not only look like they belong in these games but also enhance their gameplay and world-building. For example, the cursed skull lantern fits the dark, mystical tone of Sea of Thieves with its eerie glow and summoning portal mechanic, which could introduce dynamic enemy encounters or...

The Cursed Skull: A Fusion of Inspiration

Image
The Process: Modifying and Creating a New Identity For this project, I decided to work on a cursed skull model, starting with a base skull I had previously downloaded from Sea of Thieves. The goal was to take the original design and push it into a darker, more sinister direction, inspired by the raw intensity of Doom and the pirate fantasy aesthetic of Sea of Thieves. This model allowed me to combine these two unique styles while adding my own twist. I began by adjusting the original skull model, adding new elements to give it a fresh identity. I reshaped parts of the skull to make it feel more ominous, adding cracks and jagged edges that hinted at its cursed nature. To elevate the design, I integrated new features, like sinister horns protruding from its sides and engravings etched into the bone—markings of an ancient, forbidden ritual. Once the adjustments were complete, I focused on the textures. I wanted the skull to radiate an otherworldly energy, so I used demonic red tones for t...
