Junji Ito Inspired Pub Scene

This is a pub scene I worked on for one of my university modules drawing inspiration from manga comics, Yorkshire folklore and British culture in general. Creating a weird mix between manga shading and realistic shading with the environment. Pushing my work into a more horror approach.

I think this project went well in the short time I had with another project . I set a goal and I managed to achieve it with good results in my opinion it was good that the manga shader on the object didn’t clash with the background instead it’s created an odd horror feeling like a scene of unbelonging as the character is in a juxtaposition with the background of the pub.

If I had more time, I would have added more assets into the scene and added more rooms for a player to explore instead of just the pub. Although, what I’ve learnt is designing textures in Substance Designer which seemed scary studying my undergrad. In addition to a little concept art, adding more curacy details across the scene to make it look good as well.

In conclusion adding more assets, rooms and a character as well in addition to AI movement for the horror character. As well as importing it into Unreal or Unity would have looked amazing too.
