Jonathon Gregory Bick, Senior Environment Artist at Rockstar Games, unveiled this beautiful 3D scene titled Valley of Arrows. The artwork provides a new look at Hinterlands, the artist's personal project, which includes a collection of medieval-looking 3D environments with Dark Souls and Elden Ring-like vibes.
The scene features lifelike nature and architectural visualizations, highlighting the creator's expertise in 3D art. The artist crafted a complex dark fantasy setup reminiscent of epic creations such as Lord of the Rings. With multiple layers of composition, the environment tells a story through its details, with the remains of the giant castle and battle scenes of the past. The visual narrative is accompanied by a short story introducing the location, which the artist shared on ArtStation.
To create the setup, the artist used various industry-standard software, including Unreal Engine, Maya, Houdini, Marmoset Toolbag, ZBrush, and Photoshop. Take a closer look at the scene and the WIP images:
