Tatingos - Fire Wisp Lantern

A 3D model of the lantern common in the fantasy world of Tatingos. The little creatures called fire wisps that I designed are kept in the glass dome. These creature feed on moonlight particles and the six magnifying glasses attached around the body of the lantern helps them get enough to eat. The holes in the lid are to make sure enough air gets in for the creatures to breathe and the "Made In Belmont" shows that the lantern was made in the main city in the narrative. This particular lantern belongs to the protagonist, Hal.

The fire wisps are the creature that are kept in the lantern to produce light similar to capturing fireflies. This particular piece was done in photoshop using photobashing techniques
