Drained Life - Diorama

The portfolio piece "Drained Life" is a magical tree which have had its life drained because the magical orb supporting it got destroyed.

In this piece I wanted to make a stylized diorama and also bring in some storytelling. "The magical orb brings life to the tree but because the orb got destroyed, the life is now draining away." That is also one of the reasons why I chose to make the tree more colorless at the top and more colorful at the bottom were there is still some life.

This project took approximately 3 weeks halftime. All lowpoly models were made in Autodesk Maya. The highpoly models were made in Zbrush and the texturing were made in Substance Painter. The diorama were then lighted in Marmoset Toolbag 4.
