Nhex Project

Focused on character interaction, cel-shaded rendering, and vibrant color harmony.
A fun challenge that helped me push my painting workflow and storytelling.

Story Concept:
Elise is a sharp, slightly reckless young engineer. One day, digging through scrap and forgotten machines, she finds a busted-up robot. She tries everything: tweaks, rewiring, desperate kicks... and finally something incredible happens: it works! It moves! It’s clumsy, sure, but alive.
MK-198, though, has no memory. Actually… he might be a little too advanced. A bit too powerful. Could he be a military prototype? Best not to ask too many questions. Better to keep him hidden. Best way to hide a big shiny robot? Dress him up, obviously.
A cloak, some stolen hats (sorry, hat vendor), and maybe no one will notice a mechanical giant wobbling through the fair. Maybe.
