This is a new project that I am starting that will eventually serve as my new concept art portfolio. Its is the visual development of The Golden Bird by the Brothers Grimm. A story about three brothers who are sent on a quest to retrieve a bird with golden feathers. I decided to develop this story as, as with most Brothers Grimm stories the description for the characters is almost non existent leaving lots of room for interpretation. The story has a nice mix of characters, environments, props, and creatures to design as well.

Ill do a turnaround of this at the end, as, as you can see I went beyond simply modelling what can be seen in the isometric view of the original concept art.Which can be seen here Edit: I am going to start making assets/props as well to start adding to scenes, here is my first one, a simple barrel. It has a basic diffuse and spec map on it. Barrel Diffuse Barrel Spec
