For this study I recreated the final room before the tutorial boss in the journey to the Nexus portion of Demon's Souls. I chose to do this particular room because when I saw it for the first time during my playthrough of Demon's Souls I was struck with how beautiful It was and it really inspired me to take on a project to push myself as an artist. My primary goal of the project was push my own artistic limits and see what I was capable of. Additionally I used this as an opportunity to really dig in to aspects of a scene such as lighting, rendering, and effects which were newer to me.
Using the awesome work From Demon's Souls as inspiration and reference I created all aspects of this environment including Modeling, Texturing, Material and shader work, Lighting, and FX.
Overall I am very happy with the results and am proud of what I was able to create. I learned so much along the way and cant wait to use the skills I have learned during this project in future pieces going forward.
