Gordo's Island in 3D!

Hey IITS Readers and Various Peoples,

I've been juggling various projects and trying to keep them afloat so I apologize for the lack of updates but I got a neat little treat for you today. My friend and ex-coworker, Alex Mathis, just recently sent me some screenshots of the model of Gordo's Island I contracted him to do for Project IITS. He said it's not done yet (artists, feh!) but it certainly is nice enough to show here. Enjoy!

P.S. The original concept is here.

  1. Looks like a great bonus level for a Super Mario Galaxy 3. LOL!
    But yeah, these look extremely presentable. If this is what he considers "not done" I'm really anxious to see the final product.

  2. Thanks, Malcolm.

    Alex is a super talented artist and I can't wait to see his "polished" version either. =)

  6. Hello SarBear,

    I'm glad you liked the island. When I requested the original concept, I asked the artist to include all sorts of nooks and crannies that spark the imagination. In fact, I specifically said, "Design someplace you'd want to live...imagine yourself on the island...as if it were your home," or something like that. Both Cecilia (the concept artist) and Alex (the 3D modeler) appear to have done their work really well. =)
