Trapped!

Project I made back in 2020 to brush up on my 3DSMax skills. The little story I was going for, was of a cute fairy creature exploring a wizzard's tower in search of mysteries. They would then find and look inside a magical hourglass, only to notice a tiny version of themselves trapped in it!
The whole concept was loosely based on an artist friend's sketch, while the initial hourglass idea was based on an illustration by Patrick Hruby. I also drew inspiration from games such as Samorost 3, to draw the background castle view and real world items that completed my mood board.
Everything was modelled and rendered with 3DSMax, while textures and window view were painted in Photoshop.
