It's a little last minute. But here's my final for the #TrueRefDT002 reference challenge, and some additional sketches for how I used the ref in the process. Thanks for the cool pose!

Key Relics are a special kind of artifacts that you can find in #MindOverMagic when exploring the Nexus. Offer them to the Nexus Relic Statue to keep exploring the dungeons! #3DArt #3DArtist #MindOverMagic #GameDev #IndieDev #GameArt #Sparkypants #KleiPublishing #ColonySim #MagicSchool

The deeper you go the more dangerous and weirder it gets in #MindOverMagic. The nexus is not for the faint of heart. Thank you to my incredible teammates at Sparkypants for making these as awesome as they are formidable in game. #conceptart #creaturedesign #gameart #stylized #indie #klei #monsters

A Magic School's gotta have students! In classic prep school fashion they adhear to a uniform dress code, but also have to stand out amongst their peers. We also needed to signify different levels of student education. #conceptart #characterdesign #gameart #stylized #indie #klei #mindovermagic

A wonky magic school needs a staff to match. In #MindOverMagic Humans, cultists, wolfkin, sentient stitched together fleshbeings and magical crystal people all working together in harmony! So fun to design, and they're even cooler in game. #conceptart #characterdesign #gameart #indie #stylized

One of the main things you do in Mind Over Magic is build your school. I prototyped the look and built out all of the FX and shader for our construction fx. Higher res videos below! www.artstation.com/artwork/3EZa3B #rtvfx #vfx #gameart #indie #MindOverMagic #Unity

Operating costs of a magic school can be tough, thats why you take the viscera and sinew of various critters and stitch them together to create abominations to help with chores! Who knew dark magic could be kind of cute? #indie #colonysim #klei #propdesign #stylized #conceptart #mindovermagic

What's a magic school without different elemental teaching stations? We decided on a group learning system when it came to teaching students. It allowed more students to learn at a time and they give us more room for really awesome FX. More to come! #conceptart #stylized #Mindovermagic #indie

More early classroom concepts for Mind Over Magic, exploring the type of magic being taught and the vibe of the class itself. Early concepts revolved around single student learning, which shifted to accommodate multiple students around a larger target. #conceptart #stylized #Mindovermagic #indie

Some of the early school concepts for Mind Over Magic, I posted some of these earlier but they didn't have the best parts of fun concept boards, wonky furniture! It's been a treat going back through these early sketches and seeing the game evolve again. #conceptart #stylized #Mindovermagic #indie

More Shaders! Nothing crazy with this one, but it turned out cool. It uses the character bounds to mask the bottom, and a couple of screen space textures on top. We recently added the option to customize the color of their ghost. Here is our ghost shader: #rtvfx #unity #stylized #gameart #indie
