My work for Pangya Celebrity as of 5/2/2017


Special Easter Clubset


Special Easter Clubset Development
---------------------------------------------

The Special Easter Clubset took about a month from conception to completion to create. The clubset is unique in that it's themed around the festive holiday "Easter". It was quite a challenge coming up with the concept and experienced quite a few changes along the way.

The clubset was released on Pangya Celebrity on April 16th 2017.

At first, i thought an Easter themed clubset or item would be fairly easy to concept. Eggs, Bunnies, Chocolate and Chicks were all early themes and eventually made it into the final design. The clubset started off with concept art, as with anything i create. 
 From Concept
 To Reality
Special Easter Clubset Wood + Iron + Wedge + Putter

This is the final version of the concept art i created before modeling the clubset. The final design consisted of various Easter themes. The Wood features three unique Egg designs, with their own pattern and colours. The Iron features bunny ears, the Wedge features a Chick hatching from an Easter egg and finally the Putter features a Pang coin with wings. A bow and ribbon wrap around each clubset linking the designs of each together. The Wood and Wedge both have a single ribbon, while the Iron and Putter have two. The Wood and Wedge have the standard clubset shaft while the Iron and Putter both bevel out into a heart shape. Finally, a central theme around this clubset is the Mochi creatures that hang on each club.

Four Mochi's with their own unique personality

You can see each Mochi above has their own personality, look and design. The Mochi on the wood is wearing bunny ears, the Mochi on the Iron is about to fall off and has expression marks above its head. The Mochi on the Wedge is swinging around on the clubset and finally the Mochi on the Putter is wearing a Pang necklace which ties into the Pang themed Putter.

Final render of the Putter Mochi

This was honestly my favorite part of the design for me. Having Mochi's hanging onto a clubset was a really great idea that i'v had for a while now. Putting it into practice was fairly difficult. Modeling the body's from scratch was surprisingly hard. I wanted them to look and feel low-poly while still having detail. The faces took some time to perfect but came out nice, and posing each Mochi was fun.

Many of the Design concepts the Clubset went through

This clubset took a long time to develop. It changed its design quite a bit, but with a lot of communication between Leia and myself we came across the design you see here today. As a designer, i'm proud of the Design we finished with. It's unique, cute and represents Easter well. It also fits in very well with Pangya and is of high quality. I'm honored as always to see my work in Pangya Celebrity and i can't wait to contribute more in the near future.
