Practice: Normal Mapped bracelet


Half-bracelet item made to practice normal and specular maps. Time to make was not more than an hour and the model is a single plane. Depth and structure is completely in texture.
Currently working on a game for the University of Maastricht. The department of psychology wants to conduct a research on the (positive) influence of playing games on children's ability to learn and concentrate. The game will train the working memory of the child through different forms of mini-games, all connected to the game's theme: The child can catch animals and set up a zoo filled with sometimes strange but plausible creatures.

I am working primarily as an artist on this project. The creature below is an adaption of a platypus to a more otter-like form. The creatures are designed to have taken different evolutionary paths, instead of being randomly made up.
