The Palette
The objective was to subvert the "hardcore gamer" aesthetic by utilizing a palette inspired by Japanese confectionery. Using Sub-D modeling in Blender, every edge was chamfered specifically to catch soft, high-key studio lighting.
"Design is not just what it looks like, but how it feels in the virtual hand."
