Team Twist - Graveyard

Graveyard was something that I always looked forward to. I really enjoy the overall idea of haunted place, that is dark, scary and ready to strike.
As mentioned in my previous blog post I have decide that now I am going to do paintings that will be more 3D friendly. I want to do both illustrations as well as more design work that I could pass along to our 3D modelers so that they could use them as a starting point.

Above are three illustrations that I have done for our graveyard level. As you can see I have used quite a lot of hard surface objects that I have noticed while researching Victorian Graveyards. A lot of these look almost modern. Concrete floors along with steel gates and tall tombs give a sense of world progressing forward, just like in Victorian era.

Above are couple of drawings that I have done for our 3D modelers. Throughout the process of designing these we have decided that it would be better for us to follow both my drawings/paintings as well as various reference photos that we have gathered, That way we can combine both and hopefully come up with something unique and believable. 

In conclusion, I have really enjoyed working on this location and I plan to come back to it and do more. I have learned quite a lot throughout the process. Painting graveyards was definitely not an easy task. Coming up with designs as well as trying to convey everything that I wanted onto a canvas was definitely challenging but rewarding task.
