Mood Concept Art #1 - The Lord of the Rings : Return to Moria

Here are some mood concept art pieces created for The Lord of the Rings™: Return to Moria™. This marked my first significant experience as a concept artist in the video game industry, and it was fun to illustrate and delve deeper into the mines of Moria.

Humbaba, the guardian of the Cedar Forest.
In Sumerian mythology, Humbaba was a fearsome creature tasked with protecting the sacred cedar trees. In the epic of Gilgamesh, he faced the hero Gilgamesh and his companion Enkidu in a legendary battle.

Ancient Ritual

A personal project created to test and practice kitbash techniques a year ago.

Hi! This is my first post here 😊
I'm Miha and I'm currently working on a MV and personal projects.
I will visit IAMAG in Paris, and I'm already very excited to be part of it. On the ticket it says "first flight phoenix", so here's a phoenix 🔥

Value comp for a personal project. I have a ton of these already, this project will be massive, I cannot wait to develop it and publish it :)

"When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth"

Hey, I'm jumping into the contest at the last minute (hope it's not too late).

In this scenario, something went very wrong – some researchers opened a time portal in the wrong era.

I set up the entire scene in Blender, modeling some elements and using various assets from Sketchfab and Quixel Mixer. The dinosaurs were sculpted in ZBrush, with final image touch-ups done in Photoshop.

I wish I had more free personal time to dedicate to this contest, especially for some photobashing and detailing on the final image to polish the texture of the dinosaurs and add more storytelling details to the room.

I hope you like it!

"The time travel incident"

Hey, I din't find the challenge channel anymore, so I'm posting here. 

What's more fun to do than a Hommage to Jurassic Park?

I worked on this piece the last 5 days full-time. The scene was set up in Blender, the assets were partially found on Sketchfab (such as the T-Rex and the skeletons) but most of them were fine tuned and reworked.  The final image touch-up were done in Photoshop.

I plan on exporting the scene into UE5, which is why I worked very dedicated on the different assets for the environment, heavily relying on reference images from the Natural History Museum in London.

I imagined a story, where the T-Rex travels in time after a powerful meteor hits him. He finds himself in a future, where his species is shown in a museum.

I hope you like it, please leave a comment!
