environment design - thumbnail phase crit

Heather Boyd

I like environment design and I hope to experiment with it this 2019!

I really like C, it popped out the strongest, with the higher and larger contrast areas and the interest of the foreground (up and personal with your inhabitants ) who dwell in this space. Then it's D, B, A (in that order).

Looking forward to WIP.

Second vote for C. It flows well.

C popped out

Jonas Zavacky

Thanks for the feedback! So far it is set then

C, A, D, B

Good luck!

C really makes you feel like you are in the dining hall, and gives a great sense of dimension to the aliens. My second favourite is D, which I think invites more of a "I'm spying on these creatures" sort of feel.

I really like the swirl in the rock up in the left corner of A, do you think that could be incorporated into C somehow?

Jonas Zavacky

@mia-clarke Thank you for the input! I really like hearing what sort of feel you have from those thumbnails:)

Yes, It could... C is basically seen from the opposite direction as A so I will play with that

Jonas Zavacky

okay made some basic drawing and value sketch. any thought appreciated!

Wow! It's so great to see this come to life! I really love the direction, and the swirl looks so good at the center bottom. I would not what these fellas to turn around!

I wonder, with all that light coming in from the top right, would it make sense for the overhang on the right to be quite a lot darker at the top? I feel like some added value differences in that section would make for a more interesting picture. What do you think?

Will the walls and overhangs be moist, or dripping?

Jonas Zavacky

@mia-clarke glad you like it!

hmmm yes that sounds right.. for now it kinda blends together. Thanks !

yes the will, they won't be dripping everywhere, but some moist is definitely in my mind! also there will be higher amount of plants and roots all over the place..

I guess I will call it done for now. Mainly because I have a tight deadline and I need to get everything done - and for the purpose of what it is for I think it is enough. If I will some time to revisit this I surely will.

But last questions. For presentation purposes. With tone or without?

@Jonas-Zavacky Love both, but the one with tone, I feel, matches the mood better. Great work!

@mia-clarke Thank you !! appreciate all the input you gave me throughout this!
