The Witch Queen Topiary Trees

Inspired by the shapes in Morel mushrooms, these topiary-like growths are the closest thing to "trees" inside of Savathûn's fortress in The Witch Queen. It was challenging and fun to create these very alien assets. I sculpted the base models in 3dcoat, and added foliage in SpeedTree. Painted in Substance Painter.
