Battle of the two gods (desolate cube world)

Cube World: Battle of the two gods (desolate)
For this project we had to create another cube world, but this time we had the option to either use textures or make an animation, I chose for the textures.
backstory:

This story is based on a story from my DnD campaign:

Qahier and Saluna are each other's opposites and have fought each other many times during solar eclipses. However, before they fought each other, they loved each other and years ago they wanted to start a new life together in a village far away from where they came from. In time the lovers reached a treacherous bridge suspended between a divided cliff, as they crossed the bridge the rope broke and they would soon meet their end, but because they were trained in the magical arts they simply waved their hands to stop time, by doing so they avoided their fate but before they could travel on again they were in the presence of a mysterious figure, it was the god of time. The god of time was the most powerful god in existence and he felt betrayed, betrayed because they had manipulated time to escape their prophesied end. But the god of time was cunning and he pretended to congratulate the two lovers for using their magic to escape death, so he gave them a choice. They could become gods themselves (of the moon and sun with their own unique powers) through an unknown bogie that would be attached. or they could simply meet their destined end on the spot. The greed to become gods was too strong and their love turned to hate, a hate that would change their new life forever. Deceived by their greed, they were cursed by the god of time, a curse that ensured they would be alone forever. And now, about 200 years later it is prophesied that the two gods will meet again during a solar eclipse, the meeting will take place in the desert area where they met time 200 years ago. People have been evacuated from local villages and towns based on the devastation that was going to take place. ''Quickly now! You are the last ones to be evacuated.''
 the process:
I started with making a short word document where I could make my own board of idea's
Since I already knew what my story would be after I got the verb Desolate (which would be my theme), I started sketching out my idea's. Later on after getting feedback from 3 teachers I changed up some of the things I had made so far and continued on to making concept art for some of the assets I was going to make.
there was also the draw over part:
after I finished all my drawings it was time to move on towards blender, I began making the layout of the landscape
I went with the second one based on the feedback and so I moved on to making the nature assets such as stone pillar etc, I also changed the house design as I was not happy with the one i had made
then it was time to give everything textures (I had already done the trees)
Then there would be the last part, I was a bit nervous because I had never mixed 2D with 3D before, I started with my design for the two gods:
Qahier god of the sun                                   Saluna goddes of the moon
after finishing these two I drew them into their pose which I would implement into Blender later on.
Then it was time to add in the big light beams, now there were a couple of problems with this one, it began with the file being too powerful, Blender crashed a number of times before it actually worked, but it did not stop there, when implementing it into sketch fab it was still too big and to powerful of a file. This ment that I would have to change the size plus resolution, this took a long time to get right and then in sketch fab it would not work as I had intended it to work, the transparency didn't work correctly, and the resolution was awful, but nonetheless I continued forward.
And then it was time to round it all up
Evaluation
In one word, chaotic. I was really struggling with the end date and most things did not go as planned, blender wasn't helping at all and crashed a lot, the end images in sketch fab don't look as intended. But at the end, looking back, I am pretty proud of my end result. I have successfully finished my PERSOONLIJKE LEERDOELEN FOCUSGEBIED OPSTELLEN.
mine were:
zorgvuldiger tewerk gaan
meer experimenteren met tekenen/ontwerpen (niet alleen draken of wezens tekenen).
Which I actually finished, I had folders where I could easily find all my other files, and I had experimented with drawing other things than Dragons and creatures. So all in all I am proud of my end result
