Hold my beer. With a title like that, I ought to publish an art book.

As the time for ratings slowly draws to an end, I wanted to share a bit of our art with you. These boys don’t really get to shine when you’re more concentrated on frantically janking your mouse around to prevent them from squashing your bugs, so I decided to give them a separate space here.

The high-poly model was made by basically cutting up the low poly one and solidifying the patches in blender to get them to look like bricks.

And since I don't like to sculpt stuff when short on time, I treated them with a great plugin called OCD (one click damage) from https://twitter.com/vfxguide. Great stuff when you want to make wear on stone surfaces fast.

Baking and texturing done in Substance Painter, and we're good to go shoot at a swarm of oversized locust.

If you want to take a closer look at them, I dropped the models on sketchfab https://skfb.ly/oDozu

Or better yet, come obliterate them in our game https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/52/hivesters
