︎ Mushroom Folk
These three anthropomorphic mushrooms include the humble protagonist morel, the helpful deuteragonist chantrelle and the evil antagonist death cap.
I aimed to keep the shape, textures and vibe of the real mushroom species while personifying them with bodies, faces and clothing to tell a story about who they are and what their personalities are.
To get the textures right I used bump maps whenever possible to keep the polygons to a minimum while allowing for great detail.
