This backpack was created as part of my final 3D project of my first year of university.
My initial idea was inspired by the weird scouts of Welcome to Nightvale, and then developed into the concept of an asset for a game where you play as a scout in the apocalypse, where badges reflect the new order of the world. I imagined that the badges would be unlocked as you progressed in this game and learned new skills. Then they could be added to your bag much like in the original Psychonauts.
