Environmental Research Part 2

As I wanted to go for a semi-realistic approach for my digital environment, I thought I'd start looking at real images of deserts, as opposed to pure concept work. I saved a file full of visual resources to use as inspiration, including different kinds of terrain and the specific colour palette I was aiming to use.

I compiled these images into a moodboard, selecting a few favourites as my main source of inspiring imagery.

As one of my friends, Rod, is wanting to specialise in concept art, he offered to do some concept artwork for me to use on my project.

I'm extremely happy with the work that he's produced, and I love the style he applies to his sketchwork which is very fitting with the rocky, other-worldly landscape. It works perfectly with what I plan to model, and the rock shapes will certainly prove useful when it comes to texturing.
