A New Collection of Fantasy 3D Characters With Stop-Motion Vibes

Darren "fightPUNCH" Bartley, an experienced Concept Designer and Illustrator, has expanded his UNDERGROWTH series, launched earlier this year as a collection of detailed fantasy 3D character and environment designs with stop-motion vibes, by unveiling its sequel, UNDERGROWTH 2.

Featuring three additional characters and three stunning environments, the latest expansion enhances the worldbuilding and lore of UNDERGROWTH, with Darren introducing entirely new species not present in the original collection and even making up brief backstories for each. The 3D models themselves were created using Blender, a free and open-source 3D software for modeling, texturing, rendering, animation, and VFX.
