This project was made as an entry to the 2024 World of Warcraft student art competition. I wanted to create a mount, as I love the variety in shapes and style that the original game has when it comes to its animals. I decided to take the name "sea lion" literally, and mimicked some lion features in a way that would make sense for an aquatic animal. Overall, this project really helped me better understand hand painted textures, and the poly budget of 6,000 tris helped me figure out what things actually needed to be modelled vs what could just be textured.
