Gingerbread House

A cute little 3D gingerbread house I made for the December-January monthly art challenge held at work. The theme was 'Festive Foods' (the theme may or may not have been chosen by me because I wanted to see delicious food art).

If I had more time to complete this, I would have liked to have optimised this further (ie. stack and mirror more UVs). Rendering it in a game engine would have probably been more fitting too. I would have also maybe added more contrast in certain areas to the gingerbread biscuit to give it a more cartoony look, maybe I could have pushed some shapes more too?

Nonetheless, it was a fun project and good stylised art practice! I especially enjoyed drawing the little sparkles on the 'snow' and playing with Sweep Mesh to create the piped icing. I'd like to create more stylised personal work in the future too.
