With this concept I wanted to create something truly peaceful. A place where humans and nature live in harmony. This village is an interconnected tapestry of huts that makes it easy to navigate via bridges and encourages inhabitants to partake in the community in an organic way. The focal point is the king's hut with more adornments, color and magnitude than the rest of the village, but yet accessible to all. I wanted to create an authentic African sunset that reminds me of my childhood in South Africa where I was fortunate enough to visit Kruger National Park.

I created The Village while learning Blender. It's been an awesome learning experience and I can honestly say learning Blender was a great investment of my time. It just lets you focus on creating rather than technicalities. A huge thank you to Jama Jurabaev and Jan Urshel whose Gumroad tutorials have been a great resource in the learning process. It saved me countless hours of frustration no doubt. Hope you guys like the concept as much as I did creating it!
