NAME: Dusk (Nightfall)
TIME: 2.5 weeks
CLIENT: Jake Weaver; Otherside NFT
ABOUT:
The story of the Guardian and his faithful companion, Dusk(Nightfall), began long ago when Otherside was first created. At first Otherwise was a beautiful and awe-inspiring world untouched by the ravages of time. But as Otherside flourished, it soon became a target for those who sought to destroy the beauty and peace of the virtual world.
As enemies on Otherside grew in strength and assertiveness, a hero was needed to protect the wide-open world and its inhabitants. To fulfil this need, a special Bionic Hound, the Guardian, was created. Guardian was an advanced and powerful cybernetic creature, capable of defending the Otherside world from the most powerful enemies. His loyal companion, (Nightfall), was also created to serve as a loyal companion, helping to protect the Otherside.

DAY
STORY:
Golden sunbeams cascade through the workshop, inviting a leisurely stroll amidst the benevolent weather. The city, adorned with verdant alleys and parks, manifests an ode to landscape architecture's lofty standards. The Federation towers, soaring gracefully overhead, evoke the sublime imagery of avian creatures, casting their majestic shadows upon the flourishing cityscape.

NIGHT
STORY:
The city, a tireless dreamer, never succumbs to slumber. Its swift arteries, the rapid transit lines, glow ethereally in hues of celestial blue. The monument stands as a luminous guardian, casting its radiant embrace upon the grand avenue of knowledge, where the university's wisdom resides. Transport ships dance gracefully in the nocturnal expanse, their silhouettes tracing celestial patterns across the canvas of the night sky. The Federation towers ascend majestically, like beacons of progress, overseeing the entirety of the city's bustling dreamscape.

STORY:
Amidst the weather's whims, the fervor of labor remains unyielding. The interactive desktop, a silent confidante to our hero, becomes an instrument of intricate analysis, deciphering the subtle nuances of comrades' conditions. Everywhere, instruments of modification abound, gracefully interwoven into the tapestry of industrious endeavor.

First iteration
The initial iteration of the illustration was developed over a span of one and a half weeks. Subsequently, a strategic decision was made to pivot in a different direction, prompting alterations to the previously established perspective.

3D without materials
Research
Displayed here is a segment of the creation process. I refrained from appending an analysis with diagrams, concentrating instead on the visual aspects. Several sketches, accompanied by design research and a moodboard, were instrumental in establishing a clear direction. These sketches were swiftly crafted during the consultation phase (1-2 days), serving as reference points rather than prescriptive templates to be replicated extensively. Ultimately, we opted for a cinematic approach, discarding the more illustrative version, as evident in the progression from the initial to the final sketch.

Challenge 1
The construction of the 3D model for the hound depicted in the NFT card presented the most formidable challenge throughout the project's development. Faced with stringent time constraints, we were tasked with a swift redesign of the hound, a process necessitating completion within a mere week. Confronted with the task of translating a visually striking image into a functional 3D model with intricate mechanisms, we focused our efforts on crafting the upper portion, achieving a level of refinement that aligned with the project's standards.

Regrettably, the lower components did not meet our aesthetic expectations, prompting the decision to seamlessly incorporate them into the background and repurpose them as a statuary element. This strategic adjustment ensured the overall visual coherence of the project while maintaining the fidelity to the original artistic vision.
Challenge 2
Conversely, a comprehensive 3D design was imperative for this project. The client's directive included the capability to seamlessly transition the entire scene into Unreal Engine 5.2 for the development of a concise animation in the future. Consequently, the foundational components were meticulously crafted in 3D. The screen demonstration above showcases a dynamic rotation of the scene, highlighting the minimal disparity between the 3D scene and the eventual outcome.

To execute the intricacies of the hound model, Timofey was enlisted to translate my directives into a tangible 3D representation. While a 2D approach could have expedited the task by twofold, the decision to opt for a 3D methodology was a deliberate choice to align with the customers explicit vision.
