Self Directed Project 2025 – Research and Concept Art

I began creating this project by doing some researching into different environments that fits the theme of Steampunk to take some inspiration from as well as different animations that inspire me to create this project.

I picked two of the best environments that can give me ideas to create concepts of my own environments:

Image 1: Steampunk Megapack – Leartes Studios

Image 2: From Imagination to Realisation: Taking a Concept to a Complex 3D Environment

Animations that inspire me to create this project are the TV series titled Arcane because of its steampunk aesthetic and an anime titled Solo Leveling because of video game elements such as a menu which features the inventory, stat points, etc.

Concept Art

These are the initial concepts for different characters that have metallic bodies and holes within their chest for cog wheels to be placed inside.
