Context
The assignment we got was to create a foodkiosk in Blender. We could each choose what food item we wanted to
sell in our kiosk. My classmates picked things like sushi, taco’s, ice cream, burgers, ... But I chose a
different approach.
I’m really interested in fantasy as a genre and especially if it is set in a medieval timeline. Because of
this, I asked my professor if I could make a potioncart. She didn’t expect that, but was very intrigued and
wondered what I could do with that, so she agreed.
Story & Inspiration
Because of my love for fantasy, I created a small story based on a character, Tyco, and his reason for
selling potions.
Here is a summarised version:
“This potion kiosk was created by Tyco Campbell, an elf who found himself in need of potions quite
often
during his adventures. After an accident forced him to halt his travels, he decided to put his
alchemy
skills to good use and started selling his potions. His potions are now used by other travelers and
townspeople.”
For the design of the cart, I immediatly knew the cart would be made of wood. I really wanted to get
that medieval vibe right, which is also why Tyco uses a lantern and a candle to light his cart. I
imagined the cart filled with various colourful potions in glass bottles, some of them glowing with
enchantment.
As a part of the assignment, we had to create a moodboard. In this moodboard, you can see certain things
that served as inspiration.
