I wanted assets that would survive real game development, not just drawings. The kit starts as a line sheet, gets worked out in use (mixing different potions with the mixer gives different effects; breaking a container on a hard surface mixes them), is modeled and shaded, and ends as a final render of the potion-mixer backpack.

A set of potion grenades, modeled and rendered in Blender a few months later, belongs to the same kit: each capsule holds a colored potion core.

Do not press

This lets the cat loose on the page for 30 seconds. It will press things and knock the page about. You can stop it any time by grabbing the cat. Everything goes back afterwards.

Stop the cat?

Everything goes back where it was.
