My project for CGMA's Handpainted course with Ashleigh Warner. I wanted to do this type of environment for a long time and I'm lucky to finally have had the chance to. I spent an extra 4 weeks working on this after the course's completion and really wanted to build a full environment with story telling. All assets textured in Photoshop with help from 3DCoat.
I used a lot of screenshots from World of Warcraft as references for this project, with special attention to art by Denis Rogic and his kul tiran docks which you can see here https://www.artstation.com/artwork/N5WVqd.
