This is the senior thesis project of Lindsey Olivares from the Ringling College of Art and Design.

Great characters; and really excellent texture work, in a way that exploits the advantages of texture layers and 3D space to make something that neither can do on its own. It’s obviously a merging of 2D and 3D, but it’s all harmonious and well-integrated, and doesn’t grate or jar.

This kind of syncretic style is something that I see more and more often coming from the schools, and that makes me happy, because it means 3D is no longer solely the domain of geeks with tin eyes. It’s finally a design tool, instead of a world all by itself.

I had to mute the sound; the song (while no doubt perfectly appropriate) has a choir in it. I had a bad experience with “We Are The World” as a child, and I’ve been violently allergic to choirs in pop music since.
