Beary Land is a place where all the bears can be happy and rest well all day. It's an island filled with soft pillows and happy citizens. There is beautiful sunsets, pink trees and grass. Most importantly, it feels like spring time all-year round.
The concept
a bear island/promised land
From a paradise to a community
Developing from the old concept, this time I want to create not a destination/paradise that feels like an ending, but a community a lot of bears actually have vibrant day to day life in.
On top of the previous art style like light-pink colors and pink/purple-ish trees, I added a new key element--pillows.
I'm imagining little bears running around on the island and lying down on the soft and fluffy pillows whenever they feel tired.
Bearadise (2023), is a project of mine about the story of bears' promised land. It's full of bear angels, lilacs and palm trees there. It's a always sunny place where all bears dream of.

Making Process
The scene elements
pink grass (paint texture)
I chose three different shades of pink grass so it can be painted more naturally. Beary land has most of the things in pink, while it's meant to be cute and dreamy, I also want to put in the hint of the unrealistic feeling.
beach skybox
(generated with Hyper3D)
I put in prompts about a beautiful beach and dreamy pink sky. I want it to be almost bizarrely cute.
imported models
(sketchfab/other sources)
The island is filled with gigantic soft pillows for bears to rest whenever. The main scene happens in the center of the park at the playground so there's also a slide. In my head most bears should be child-like and care-free.
