Dr. Diggins' Workshop

This project was a school assignment that I turned into a challenge by pushing myself to create content in a non-realistic style, and recreating something inspired by someone else's work. For this project, I created a workshop for the character Dr. Diggins from the 2008 game Fossil Fighters, in a modernized version of the game's style. All assets were modeled in Maya, textured in Substance Painter, and Rendered in Unreal Engine 4.

The Key Shot, a close up of a fossil rock with a partially exposed skull, tools, paper, and dino medals scattered about haphazardly.
