Lazy Lagoon

Hello!
I had the opportunity to bring Jourdan Tuffan’s concept art, “Lazy Lagoon,” to life as a fully realized 3D environment. Huge thanks to Jourdan for letting me bring this beautiful piece to life in 3D!

The project was all about taking the original 2D illustration and translating it into an immersive scene, while keeping the same relaxed and whimsical vibe that made the artwork so special. I used Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, Substance Designer, and Unreal Engine throughout the process—everything from high-poly sculpting and retopology, to detailed texturing, lighting, and scene composition.

Every step was about making sure the final environment felt true to the concept, while also pushing it into a space that felt explorable and alive.
