3D Illustrations for Kaidan, sci-fi Japan

All the illustrations created using Wings 3D, subdivisional modeling software, and Vue Creator for terrain generation, texturing and rendering. In the case of the city aerial view, I also used J-Displacement, a displacement map generator. These illustrations will be published in my upcoming Kaidan Interstellar Empire of Japanese Horror setting for Starfinder Roleplaying Game.

Probably the most complex 3D character illustration I've ever modeled and created. This is the Oni Taisho (oni general), the true BBEG of the Kaidan setting - arguably the Shogun and many of the daimyo are not pleasant people, but Oni are the true enemy.

Next of the war ships is the ISS Toranaga, a Shishi Destroyer class ship. It shares similarities in the nose design of the Ryu battlecruiser, with the Shishi lion temple guardian statue above the nose.
