This model has been a creative journey inspired by the distinct visual worlds of Borderlands and Arcane. Rather than replicating their aesthetics, the goal was to craft a unique homage; something that nods to their beauty while standing on its own.
The style blends a painterly approach with a subtle tilt-shift effect, creating a heightened sense of depth and dimensionality. The painterly technique emphasizes bold shapes and textures, while the tilt-shift effect adds a cinematic, almost miniature-like quality. Together, they produce images with the charm of hand-painted art and the immersive feel of 3D animation, resulting in a distinctive visual language unlike standard outputs.
