Stylized African Hut

Throughout this project, I focused a lot on improving my ability to model organic shapes — especially natural elements like plants and more irregular, hand-crafted objects like the wooden stairs. It challenged me to move beyond clean, hard-surface modeling and really think about how to bring more life and imperfection into the scene.
Learning to sculpt and shape these kinds of details taught me a lot — not only in terms of technique but also in observation and artistic decision-making.
I also explored a different workflow: all the textures were hand-painted in Photoshop, which helped me develop a more artistic and customized look.

From the early blockout to the final render, it’s been a rewarding experience, and I’m proud of the progress I’ve made.
