3D: World of Warcraft Blizzard Student Contest!

So now that the judging's over, I'm going to post my entry for Blizzard's Student Art Contest. I entered under the 3D Environment category, and though I didn't win, I'm still really proud of my entry! The concept started off as a caravan that would sell ill-advised tourist information to passing citizens.

... but then someone suggested a goblin caravan, and as I've really been digging the grungy blue-orange aesthetic of places like Kharazan, well, how couldn't I?

And so, after a winter's break slaving over Photoshop, Maya, and UDK, I resulted in this:

all in all, this was a lot of fun! I learned a lot about handpainted textures, and got a nice piece out of it! It's a shame I didn't win, but there's always next year.
