The King of Red Lions

This piece is very special to me as The Wind Waker is one of the big reasons I've found myself in this industry today.

I originally created this model for my Props and Weapons class at Gnomon, and it left a lot to be desired. After studying for a little bit longer, I returned to the piece to breathe new life into it; I updated the model itself and remade the textures from scratch. I also changed the direction of the piece from putting The King of Red Lions in the ocean to making a figure I would want to be displayed on my desk. Different approaches definitely, but I've learned so much from both.

Original Composition While this version of the piece had the potential to be epic, I found that I was spending more time on considering the entire environment and felt that the boat asset was suffering for it.
