Mother Machine - Mother's Home

For Mother's Home, the hub of Mother Machine's game world, I was responsible for making the final version of Mother herself as well as set-dressing and lighting her surrounding environment.

I also created the hard-surface machinery seen around the level.

As the game uses procedural generation for smaller foliage and environment geo, not everything was within my creative control, but the majority of medium+large foliage was done by hand in this level specifically.
