Goblin Crossbow

Crossbow metal work redesign. Nasan Hardcastle did the original concept for the crossbow. Unfortunately the metal work didn't match what Danny Russon and Dallin Jones had done with all of the goblin armors.

I was responsible for creating the game model and textures for the goblin crossbow, as well as an update to the design of the metal inlays to better match the goblin armor. I was also able to help out the VFX team by animating the glow in gameplay.
Goblins are known to be incredible metal artisans, so in making these weapons and the armor, we tried to make highly intricate designs with multiple layers of beautiful winding inlays. Something that would be extremely difficult and show an incredible amount of skill to make.
Shout out to the concept artists Danny Russon, Nasan Hardcastle and Ben Simonsen for their fantastic design work. As well as a big thanks to the art director Jeff Bunker for trusting me enough to take a number of these from concept to final game asset.
