Magic Book

I made this artwork as an entry for the Magic Book challenge for CG Boost. I did not win but I enjoyed a lot while creating it. I learned a lot with regards to modelling props and quickly setting up a concept art scene.

It took a little over 2 weeks to complete this. I did the blockout and lighting setup in the first few days to get an idea of the work needed. I keep going back to the blockout to make sure I was on time with the progress. I spent a lot of time perfecting the look of the book and the pages. For the background I tried to think how props will be logically laid out if someone is using them e.g. wood for burning should be closer to the door as it will be delivered frequently.

Tools:
Blender 2.9 for all the 3d work (Modelling, UV, Texturing, Materials, Baking, Rendering and Compositing)
Krita: Textures
