Description Conceptual Art for my upcoming short film, "Scale & Bone."
(F.Y.I. The skull is meant to be tiny here.)

With every fantasy films comes the task of designing not just the characters and the environments, but the very items and tools they use to serve specific and everyday purposes. With short films, the budgets are small enough that any props likely to be used will be found rather than made. But in certain cases, specific items can be custom made if they are important enough.

While the script for Scale & Bone is still in development, I have included here all of the items I imagine the main protagonist might carry with them on their travels. There are more survival items that might be necessary to have on set, but here I was simply aiming for the essentials to the plot, and what we'll see on screen at some point.

I took a unique approach when creating this image, because I wanted to capture everything from a very specific angle. So after drawing out a very rough sketch of what everything was and where it was placed, I then went into Blender to model every item from scratch, save for the book and the skull, and place them in a scene at the angle I wanted. After rendering out the image with the Cycles render engine, I then drew over everything, adding embelishments, shape, and texture where the initial models had none. Here you can see what the original 3D model looked like:
