This project focuses on creating a 3D diorama that portrays an enchanted and cryptic forest, expanding the Fantasy/Folktale world of Moving Out 2. While most existing examples draw from North American folklore, this piece adapts the theme to a European setting and aesthetic, as outlined in the style guide.
At its heart is Nyx, a deer filled with curiosity. Wandering through the woods, she is not searching for much, just space, trees, or maybe some stillness. She has not yet realised the forest she is entering is older than her memory, or that it is watching back at her. The forest takes inspiration from Leshy – a forest deity in Slavic mythology – and weaves in organic, nature-driven details to capture a sense of mystery and whimsy.
