KH1 Crate Fanart

In an effort to shake off rust, decided on a simple model to make from scratch and take it all the way to final render to re-familiarize myself with some tools and software that I have not used in a while, and of course, to beef up portfolio with more up to date works.

I grew up with the Kingdom Hearts game series and it was one of the few reasons I wanted to get into the 3D industry, so naturally this was my starting point for inspiration for my next "brushing up" project. From memory, I have only seen this prop in the very first game of the series, so I saw this as a perfect prop to update. So here is my take on how this prop would look like on modern consoles.
