Magical Mushroom Staff

This was a weapon design I created for the "Art of War" character challenge a bit ago. I loved the simple clean design in the newest Dragon Quest and I had never replicated a "toon" style before. Lots of fun to focus on clean color design but still get some sculpt details in! I sadly was unable to finish my submission and i'm only now able to start finishing pieces and instead of sitting on assets waiting to get the whole character done I'm going to upload each piece as I finish them.

Concept Image - Used to get an idea for the unique types of mushrooms I'd want to use. Also some world design ideas, the design of the locket ended up changing to better fit the character that uses this weapon.
