Villagers & Heroes is an mmo, that features a low poly handpainted art style. I had the pleasure to create various ridable mounts, and themed furniture/decoration sets for the game.
For each set I would be provided with a moodboard and what the theme was going to be. I had total freedom to come up with ideas and concepts, which I would then present to the lead artist. The only technical requirement in case of mounts was that they ideally would fit any existing rig.
3D max was used for modelling, 3Dcoat for texturing.
