🎨Art direction over 3D: how dishonored mastered style

Next year, the original Dishonored will celebrate its 15th anniversary. We decided to look back at what made the game's style so unique and why it felt like a living painting.

🔎Seven strivings axe — high-poly sculpt

Continuing to share an exclusive look at the weapon assets from Avowed. Today, we’re showcasing the Seven Strivings bone axe.

During development, we aimed to perfectly capture the organic shapes and the distinct, rough texture inherent to bone tissue. Later, this asset was optimized for low-poly (LP) and integrated into the game engine.

Our bot collection for Miasma Chronicles

We’ve already introduced these characters individually, but now we’re showcasing them all together to highlight the sheer variety of styles we can handle.

It’s a unique mix of high-tech antiquity, «samurai» urbanism, and pure futurism. And we are very grateful to 505 Games for the opportunity to work with such diversity.

Here is another example of what our asset looked like during the high-poly sculpt stage.

🔎 Checklist: What skills does a Junior 3D artist need?

Creating cool characters, props, or weapons is great. But to land that dream offer, you need to meet the industry's technical standards.

We’ve put together a «core kit» of what studios usually expect - from topology to handling feedback professionally. 🎓
