The Legend of Zelda remake - [School Project]
(Made in January 2023)
We had the pleasure to welcome Julian Nguyen You for a masterclass on environmental art in January, and he asked us to pick a retro game and draw an environmental concept art for a remake. The concept had to show what kind of remake and what vibe we wanted to give through said remake. I obviously picked The Legend of Zelda, being a huge Zelda fan, and decided to combine it with another one of my favorite games - Hades, from Supergiant Games, with the camera placements. The map and UI are inspired by Phantom Hourglass and BotW.
This is one of my favorite projects and piece I've ever done, and I loved working on the lighting and the isometric perspective. It was a first for me, and it's definitely something I'll be redoing.
