XAVIAN
Sun King Arena
In Xavian’s hometown, Magic City, there is a 3-day warrior festival named the Magic City Jamboree. The festival is one of their Kingdom’s oldest events known for a glamorous parade and a raucous “Battle of the Warriors” featuring warriors from all over the Kingdom competing inside the famous Sun King Arena.
The famous Sun King Arena features the most cutting-edge multi-size and multi-seating animal sections. It has dedicated areas to seat the larger animals like Elephants and Giraffes, even down to the smaller animals like Meerkats and Lemurs. No slouched to being eco-friendly, the architects designed an abundance of solar panels and windmills to make the Arena solar and wind-powered. Lastly, the Arena is built around the city’s famous and iconic Baobab trees.
Conceptual Artwork
Below are pictures of showing the development process of the artwork from work in progress sketches to the final version from our Conceptual Artist, Simon.
I never gave up on Xavian. He continued to appear in many of my doodles and art projects over the years. Finally, in grad school, my classmates loved his character design and suggested making him into a 3D model and continue your story.
Environment 3D Artwork
After completing of the conceptual artwork, I hired our 3D Artist Viking to turn it into a 3D Asset. The screenshots you will see below shows the process from initial design to completion of the Sun King Arena in Blender and Unity 3D.
