Forest Dryad — Warcraft Universe (Fan Art)

This is a fan art interpretation of a forest dryad inspired by the visual language of World of Warcraft.

The main goal of this project was to capture the iconic Warcraft stylization — expressive shapes, readable silhouettes, and painterly materials — while strictly working within real-time technical constraints.

Special attention was given to preserving the fantasy character feel through exaggerated proportions, soft gradients, and hand-painted–style textures, while maintaining efficient game-ready geometry.

Technical breakdown:
- Character
12,445 triangles
Texture: 2048 × 1024
- Weapon
1,354 triangles
Texture: 512 × 512
For the primary presentation angle, the background was composed from in-game World of Warcraft screenshots to help integrate the character naturally into the original environment and reinforce the authentic game atmosphere.

This project focuses on balancing artistic stylization with production limitations, aiming to achieve a believable Warcraft-style character suitable for real-time applications.
