In an attempt to get a final art style for 3D assets, Martin created this barrel after looking at several stylised methods (originally applying several looks to one barrel by changing the grain completely on each panel and discussing each in depth with the group to make a final decision)
A document was then written up by Martin on the exact brush sizes, alphas and other techniques which were used in the creation of this one "example asset" which are to be followed in the creation of any further assets to the letter.
