I kept the style simple but made each one unique. The wooden figures were absolutely crucial to tell the story. In order to further help sell the hand-painted look, objects are a little bit warped, giving the impression of an unstable hand.

But despite my enthusiasm to start working on it right away, I couldn’t come up with a theme for my entry. ![]() ![]() Sketchfab was having a “Hand-painted Storybook Scene Challenge” and I really wanted to enter. You can follow me on Twitter where I sometimes post WIPs and talk about my life. I love how versatile 3D art can be and there is still so much I want to learn. Now I hope to one day be able to make a living doing 3D. I started 3D modeling about five years ago and noticed I was pretty good at it. Hi!
