Set Modelling Progress

I just wanted to share my process with modelling the main building for my city. It has changed a little from the concept art as I thought that if I were too take the building design straight from that artwork, it would have been quite bland and uninteresting. So I just decided to take my original orthographic drawing and mix the two together to create something a little more interesting.

The spires/glass structures at the sides of the building are spike at the moment, I hope to soften them up in towards the end so they reflect the jewellery of Lalique, rather then some evil fortress type of design. So ignore the shapes for now.

Revised Concept Painting Development

Here is my developed Concept Art. The original design wasn't working for me so I decided to change it.
These are some of the developmental images, before the mass amounts of detail and colour go into it.

Concept Art Color and Compostion.

Here is the completed thumbnail sheet from the earlier upload. It was mainly to work out a few different compositions for my final concept art and the way I want my world or be coloured. I am more proud of these thumbnails then I am of my last ones. I feel that I have begun to move away from making muddy artwork and closer to cleaner paintings. Although there are still aspects of my old habits in these images.

Out of these images I have chosen the three that I feel look the best and will be making a decision on which to use as my final.

As you can see I seem to favour the blues in these images so It looks like ill be basing my final model on one of the inner rings of my city, where the inhabitants are more high class. Leading to more extravagant building designs. something I am working on in my orthographic drawings as of this upload.

Final Concept Art Design's 1

Here are a few of my final designs for my concept art of Lalique. Personally I like number 90 the most (only because Jordan made number 89 so I wouldn't want to use his work.

Ill probably be writing another section of my travelogue to include some descriptions of the structures of the city, as I neglected to include it in the original.

Tell me what you guys think, whilst I continue to develop these ideas.

Quick Pen/Pencil Thumbnails

Here is a few of my later thumbnails. Some of them are not fully complete as I was just using them to work out certain compositions for streets and environments. They are quick so forgive the poor drawing in a few of them.

No manga women this time Phil.

10:28- I have just realized I have forgotten the links to the film reviews, animation work. Sorry about that I was so focused on the writing that I breezed over the rest of it.
