Kalas, Baten Kaitos Retrogasm 2018

This was a Fanart originally intended as a submission to the Retrogasm 2018 Art Competition. I enjoyed this piece so much that I decided to take it a bit further and really have some fun with it. The goal was to take an older video game character and create an updated game ready model using modern software. I chose Kalas from Nintendo's Baten Kaitos.

Kalas is an incredibly special character to me. I originally played this game when I was 14 and was completely captivated by it. It was the first time I had really considered that game art was the direction I wanted to take my life in. Something about his over the top design, bright colors and different style really just resonated with me. I felt it was only fitting that this character be given the proper treatment.

I also just want to take this moment and thank all of my followers and friends on Twitch that gave their feedback, criticism, time, and advice. Your input is very appreciated!

Thank you!
