The Sky Islands

The Sky Islands is my final university group project: a stylised Viking environment showcase built in Unreal Engine 5. I was a 3D modeler, texture artist, and concept artist for the two-storey house.

The sanctuary sits across three floating islands — a house, a windmill, and a blacksmith’s workshop — linked by portals so an adventurer can travel between them. We took our cue from Ian Worrel’s Mystery Shack diorama from Gravity Falls, and set out to build a whimsical world with the same sense of place.
