The Small Knight

With shaking arms the Small Knight raises his blade in face of pure defeat...

The Small Knight (2023)

In this project I did a 3D recreation of a 2D drawing I did back in 2017.

I wanted to recreate the scenery and the aesthetics, while giving it more life, detail and atmosphere. During the process I decided to animate the scene, although the animation is merely a sideproduct and not the original intention.

Side by side comparison of the original sketch with the final rendering next to it.

The Small Knights equipment was a fun challenge. I wanted to keep the shapes as simple as possible to emulate the look of the original drawing.
