Pagoda

This started as a challenge to myself a few years back, of attempting to 2D render a chinese pagoda that slowly turned more stylized which wasn't my initial intention, so i picked it back up earlier this year, to try and add more of the architecture, and make some texture adjustments.

The final 2D render of the Pagoda

The final 2D render of the Pagoda

Progress with changes in 2D textures, and changed the way the pagoda roof was rendered on one side to test out how to add more chinese architecture in. Added set dressing, with the smaller pagoda in the background, and the wooden staff in the ground
