The Forgotten Urban

Genre: Fantasy / Adventure

Elara stumbles upon an abandoned parking lot near APU, rumoured to be cursed. Torn between exploring and heading to class, her curiosity wins and she unknowingly breaks a protective seal. This releases a dark spirit that casts a spell to plunge the world into eternal darkness by dawn. Trapped in the lot, Elara doubts herself but notices a shattered gem on the ground. Upon picking it up, she discovers the second half, which merges into a glowing gemstone.

The dark spirit demands the gem, but Elara refuses. Enraged, the spirit attacks, but the gem’s magic shields Elara, glowing brighter until it burns the dark spirit into smoke. With the spiritbanished, light is restored to the world, and Elara saves humanity from eternal darkness.

Gem Making

Overall, the design is in a star-like and yellow finish to represent the hope of a light, even if it is small. With the help of Maya Autodesk software, I was able to make this gem come to life.
